Overview:
In this experiment, students will learn the requirements to grow a plant from a seed. Students will understand that light and water is required to turn a seed into a plant. They will explore this concept by growing seeds under different conditions.
Learning Objectives:
- Build an environment where a plant can grow.
- Explore what a plant needs to grow.
- Analyze how a plant is produced from a seed.
- Evaluate the differences in each experimental condition.
- Support why plants did not grow in certain conditions.
