Students apply the knowledge and skills they have
gained in earlier STC® life science units to investigate some of the variables
that affect plant growth and development. The main objective of the unit is to
enable students to design and conduct a controlled experiment. They begin by
studying the key variables that affect the life, health, and reproduction of the
Wisconsin Fast Plant® (Brassica rapa) and how they can manipulate these
variables. Working in teams, students formulate a question about the plant and
carry out a controlled experiment designed to answer that question. During the
ensuing weeks, they observe the plants and record their data. Each team then
shares its results with the class. Final activities entail germinating seeds
that students have gathered from the plants and exploring tropisms.
