Tomatosphere™
Through Tomatosphere™, your students will investigate the effects of outer space on the germination of tomato seeds. This is a hands-on program that builds scientific inquiry and experimentation skills.
Plant Pigments
Why are there so many colours of plants? Learn about plant pigments and their role in plants.
Tropisms in Plants
Learn about the different ways that plants move in response to their environments.
Light & Plants
Learn about the process of photosynthesis and how it is affected by light levels.
Specialized Cells of the Leaf System
Learn about the structure and function of the cells in leaves.
Osmosis and Its Role in Human Biology and Health
Learn how and where osmosis takes place in the digestive system and excretory system and the role of osmosis in kidney dialysis.
How Do Trees Survive in Winter?
What adaptations and processes do trees in northern climates have to survive winter?
Plant Functions
Learn about the important plant functions of photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration
How Do Plants Survive in the Desert?
Plants need to exchange gases and water with their environment as part of photosynthesis. Some plant cells have evolved specifically for this purpose.
Why do leaves change colour in the fall?
How do the green leaves of summer change to vibrant colours in fall? Explore plant pigments in this chromatography activity.
Talking Trees: How do Trees Communicate?
Humans use the internet to communicate. Similarly, trees use a complex underground network of fungi. These relationships are examples of symbiosis.
How does water move up a plant?
Do an experiment with celery to learn about the structures that help plants take up water.
How Do Plants Use Chemical Signalling?
How do plants use scents? Learn how some plants use chemical signals to send messages to animals or other plants.
