Flower Coloring – color the parts of a flower; stamen, pistil, ovary, petalsLeaf Coloring – color structures; xylem, phloem, bundle sheath, epidermis..etc
Monocot and Dicot Comparison
– coloring with terms and questionsWaterweed Simulator – control the light and CO2 amounts and observe the rates of photosynthesis
Botany Wordsearch – plant terms
Tree Identification – leaf terminology (alternate vs simple), and a key to identify trees of the midwest
Tree Rings – website on dendrology, with questions
Where do Plants Get Their Food – grow plants, weigh soil and disprove that plants consumes soil
Plant Hormones – lab investigates effects of gibberellic acid on growth
Photosynthesis Simulation – measure rates of ATP production while changing light intensity and CO2 levels
Investigation of Leaf Stomata – compare stomata of plants kept in the light and dark
Help Wanted – descriptions of plant jobs (classifieds), students guess the structure best suited
Transpiration Lab – measure rates of water loss in plants kept in different conditions
Germination Inhibitors – measure germination rates in tomatoes
Seed Germination Experiments – students investigate what factors affect germination
