Washington D.C. In the Plant Growth and Development kit students work with the Wisconsin Fast Plants. They learn how to plant the seeds and thin and transplant their seedlings. Concepts Many plants follow a life cycle that begins with growth from a seed and proceeds through the production of seeds.
Plants have distinct stages in their life cycle.
To live and grow, plants need light, water and nutrients from the soil. Flowering plants must be pollinated in order to produce seeds. Many plants are pollinated by bees. A flower's pollen sticks to a bee, but some rubs off when the bee feeds at other flowers. Students understand the process of scientific investigation and design, conduct, communicate about, and evaluate such investigations.
