What could you invent, innovate, create relating to plants? Why Plants? Plants supply food to nearly all land organisms, including people. Plants form the critical base of food chains in nearly all ecosystems. Through photosynthesis, plants harvest the energy of the sun, providing both food and habitat for other organisms. Plants also produce oxygen and are an important part of the water cycle! What other ways do we use plants? Watch the resource video at the bottom of this challenge page and think about what you could create, innovate or invent related to plants. A new way to grow? Harvest? A new use? Repurpose plant waste? Be Creative!
