Students take their prior knowledge of Wisconsin Fast Plants and learn how to conduct controlled experiments as they test how variations in nutrition, water, growing space, light, and other essentials affect growth and seed production. Students work in teams to execute their experiments and collect data. Most of the unit is devoted to actual experimentation as teams closely observe their plants on a daily basis, promoting a variety of skills. The unit culminates with students setting up and conducting experiments on plant germination and tropisms. |
