Grades: K-5; Subject Areas: Science. (2008) Nick explains that plants create green environments and that we need to keep our life-support system growing. Understanding what a plant needs helps us to preserve the green environment. Plants are solar powered and do their growing at night. Then chlorophyl turns sunlight into energy to keep our plants growing and give energy to us. Nick shows how celery absorbs water, and warns that we must all learn the conditions that plants need to grow. With his young visitors he plants wheat grass, provides the right environment, and watches the plants grow.

Grades: K-5; Subject Areas: Science. (2008) Nick visits a rain forest in the middle of a city. In this botanical garden, a microclimate has been created within the city, a huge greenhouse where no one has to worry about the weather. In the hot tropical, or arid areas, shade greenhouses promote plant growth. In our own home, we can grow tropical plants that would not grow in outside gardens in North America. The potted plants thrive because we have controlled their growing conditions. When Nick grows a terrarium with his young guests, they begin to understand how climate can be controlled to create sub-tropical conditions.
