Plant Unit

With spring fast approaching, the students have begun a unit on plants.  Students will learn about the needs of seeds and plants.  They will also participate in hands-on experiments to learn about the various parts of plants and their functions.
Two students examine the inside of a lima bean to find the stored food and embryo.

Students designed their own experiments to learn more about flowers.  The students had to describe their experiment and make a hypothesis.

Some students chose to experiment with water and food coloring to discover how the stem brings water up to the flower.
