This lesson is all about the calculations needed to determine annual water needs for the Lab production. Students will not only make these calculations but also evaluate the monthly pattern of rainfall to determine when reserves will be needed and surpluses available.

Technology affects everything including how we've moved water from one place to another. This lesson provides students will a detailed look at the technology used to move water over the centuries.

Time to build a bigger, better water filter. This lesson explores the design attributes of a large scale water filter that students can build and use in the Lab.

The five primary parts of the seed work together to germinate and develop into a viable seedling. This lesson explores these seed parts and the process of initial development.

A seed library can be organized in a number of ways. In this lesson, students will practice categorizing seeds and documented their inventory for the Lab.

Organization is the key to a good seed library. In this lesson, students will design and use a custom seed packet to store and organize the harvested seeds for their seed library.

Harvesting seed is simple, right? It can actually be challenging without the proper equipment but this lesson will guide students through the screen building process, a tool required to harvest seeds for storage.

Sometimes you just need to watch nature unfold to truly understand it. In this lesson, students will discover just how plants present and disperse their seeds by observing the process up close.

Art is a powerful media and seed packets often use artistic expression to tell the story of the variety. This lesson gives students the opportunity to use their artistic abilities to convey the history of their favorite fruit or vegetable.

Our plant history clearly shows the path we've taken. Less plant diversity is the outcome of our industrialized agriculture system. This lesson tasks students with the role of historian for their favorite plant variety.
