Introduction

Welcome to Our PBL Plant Needs Wiki!

Welcome to our project for EDIM 502, Plant Needs! We can't wait to help you discover what plants need to grow. We challenge you to use what you learn during our project to successfully grow plants for a class garden. What do you think plants need? Our three guiding activities will help you find out. Lindsey's experiment will teach you about parts of a seed and allow you to watch seeds germinate, Nicole's experiment will show you what happens when a plant doesn't get what it needs, and Caroline's experiement will explore light and how plants react to it. While you are thinking and learning, keep these very important questions in mind:

~ What do plants need to survive? ~ Where could we find this information? ~ Is there an expert we could ask? ~ Is there an experiment we could design to discover plant needs? ~ Why do we need plants? ~ How does a plant grow? ~ What are the parts of a plant? ~ How do plants pollinate/germinate? ~ How does a plant adapt to a change in their light source? ~ What is phototropism?

To help you with your journey, don't forget to check out the Guiding Resources included. Happy growing and planting!
