Students will explore the different ways plants have adapted to the weather, climate, seasons and soil conditions of their habitats. Through a range of hands-on activities, students will learn about the needs of plants and find examples of how plants have adapted to extreme conditions in their specific biomes. Using what they have learned, they will design and market an invention that mimics the adaptations of one or more plants to improve human survival in extreme environments.
