Design and construct a model greenhouse using simple craft materials.
Greenhouses are protected structures that allow botanists to grow plants in a controlled climate. Transparent materials (like glass or sturdy plastic) shield plants from a harsh environment while still giving them natural sunlight. Gardeners benefit from greenhouses where they can control warmth and moisture to help plants thrive.
This activity will use the engineering design process to design and build a model greenhouse for one or more pretend plants.
This activity is part of our 4-H at Home Plant Science Series. See the rest of the activities here.
