Utilizing Wisconsin Fast Plants® materials, students work in teams to
execute experiments and collect data. As they progress through the unit
students identify the variables that affect the growth, health, and
reproductive capabilities of plants. Student teams choose a variable to
study and determine ways to manipulate the variable. Each student team
formulates a question they would like to answer involving one of the
variables that affect plant growth.
The STC Program™ is a basal, inquiry-based science curriculum for grades K–10 that covers life, earth, and physical sciences with technology. STC™ was developed by the National Science Resources Center based on research into how students learn best. The NSRC was established by the National Academies and the Smithsonian Institution.
