Be a Plant Scientist: Question, Experiment, Discover

By: Wood, Alix

We might not notice them every day, but all around us plants are growing, cooking up their own food, fighting for territory, repelling hungry animals, and reproducing. But how do we know this? Science

In this book, students will get hands-on to investigate if all the things we know about plants are true.

What happens if a plant can't access sunshine? Do the roots of plants actively "search" for water? Can a plant grow if the soil around it contains no nutrients? What happens to seedlings if they are forced into a battle for survival against others of their kind?

As they carry out their investigations, students will get the chance to grow and observe their own plants. From photosynthesis to transpiration and from pollination to seed dispersal, each innovative and engaging experiment will get young students asking questions, making observations, gathering evidence, testing theories, and making and recording their conclusions. They will also get the chance to use scientific equipment and build and practice their science vocabulary.
