This comprehensive lesson provides information on the functions of stems, control of stem growth, structure of stems, axillary buds and branching, and modified stems.

Stem functions, origin of the shoot, meristem structure, dicot stems, and monocot stems are the topics examined in this thorough lesson.

Information about the different types of plant stems and their function.

Do you like to climb trees? The branches of trees are what make them so fun to climb. Each branch starts out as a tiny shoot that grows out from a stem. How is the growth of shoots along a stem regulated?

A looping slideshow on the structures that make up the roots and stem of a plant, and the functions they perform. Includes a multiple-choice quiz.

Peruse this site and discover some interesting facts about stems as well as learn what its' function is.

This lesson consists of an experiment which will demonstrate how a plant uses its stem to carry water and minerals from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant. Students will then use their word processing skills to record...

A concise, advanced level, review of structure and growth in these plant organs. Illustrations are clear and well labeled. This is an excellent tool for labs or exams.

What do plants need? Students examine the effects of light and air on green plants, learning the processes of photosynthesis and transpiration. Student teams plant seeds, placing some in sunlight and others in darkness. They make...
