Below is a set of activities we have designed to teach young students about what plants need in order to grow and how microbes can disrupt plant functions. The activities in brief:

1) Watch "Let's Get Planted" (S3E11 of "The Magic School Bus" on Netflix)

2) Complete the Crossword Puzzle + Coloring Sheet

3) Complete the Word Search + Coloring Sheet

4) Clogging Smoothies - Hands-On Bacterial Wilt Activity (described in Lesson Plan)

Download and print these files as you would like! English and Spanish versions are available. We'd love to see what students create with the coloring sheets, so tag/DM us on Twitter (@wemp_uw) or Facebook (@wemp.uw)
