ACTIVITY

Students will began this experiment by first studying vocabulary words and mastering
their meanings.

Students will than demonstrate this knowledge as they plant their seeds and watch them
grow.

Over the course of 1 month each student or group of students will monitor the progress
of their plants, document their findings and work through controlled exercises that involve
variables.

Once the plant has reached maturity students will have masters, the plant life cycle,
pollination and photo synthesis.

RESOURCES

Below you will find a list of resources to acclimate yourselves (parents/guardians) with the
experiment and what your student will be learning over the course of project.
