Yellow Plants

Submitted by RecycleJack Marine on Mon, 07/27/2009 - 2:50pm.

Dear Mr. Franklin,

What an amazing experiment you used with your Biology students. I took a class on these plants several years ago and never figured out how to connect it to my third graders. Now I understand what the objectives were and as I own plant growing systems, I think I can create a version of the set up here at the college.

I did not understand the graphing you modeled today in the class. But I think I can use some of the findings by placing them in a graph format.

I think I could bring this down to a life-science activity for grades 2-5 in an elementary school setting. Of course we would be studying life cycles of animals and plants. Students WBAT describe what plants need to survive and what plants butterflies depend on for living. I would like to create a lesson plan using Fast Plants, but as this precise moment today, I am too focused on my interview later today near Chinatown.
