Students were asked to look at those exhibits that demonstrate the concepts covered in this project. Students will begin the project by experimenting with lima bean seeds and observing the process of germination. They will experiment with celery and food coloring to understand the role of stems and vascular tubes in the movement of food and water through plants. They will keep journals in which they record their observations. This project is designed to give students a foundation in cooperative learning as well as familiarity with the tools and language necessary for scientific and mathematics inquiry and observation.
Scientists often use a small world in a laboratory to study.
