Plants are smart. Plants are strong. Plants are sensitive. Use the experiments with your entire class. Or choose a handful of them, divide your class into small groups, and let each group tackle an experiment and report the results.
Plants are strong.
Plants are sensitive to light. Plants will bend and stretch to reach any light source. Plants are sensitive to acid rain. All materials needed for the experiments are easy to find, simple directions are written so kids can follow them, and each experiment includes a straightforward explanation of the science behind it. Plants and the other books in the Starting With Science series from the Ontario Science Centre are written by Adrienne Mason and Deborah Hodge, with photographs by Ray Boudreau.
