Plant Growth & Development
Grade Level: 3rd

Children are fascinated by growth, especially seed germination. Take advantage of this innate interest and lead your students in an exploration of a plant's life cycle, using the hands-on activities in this kit. Students work with Wisconsin Fast Plants®, which go from seed to seed in about 40 days, to investigate plant structure, chart plant growth, examine the bee/flower relationship, and record seed yield. By the end of the unit, students have a complete picture of germination, growth and development, pollination, and seed production.

Part of the Science and Technology for Children® curriculum, this unit is aligned with the National Science Education Standards and offers complete hands-on instruction. Unit Kit comes with a Teacher's Guide, 15 nonconsumable Student Investigations books, and materials needed for a class of 30 students to complete the unit in about 8 weeks. Refurbishment Set replenishes kit consumables.
