Root Caps and the Effect on Gravity Sensing

A vast overview of avascular and vascular plants, this PowerPoint displays all of the notes your botanists need to take. It lists primitive plant groups and their characteristics. It separates gymnosperms and angiosperms, also detailing...

Why does a plant grow toward the sun? The video, part of a Fuse School Plants playlist, explains the chemical processes behind plant growth. It details how auxins, gibberellins, and the sun work together. From curving plant stems to...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers the structure, function, and growth of roots.

Students conduct an experiment and use different measurements of a single root to illustrate the mechanism of plant movement.

Students conduct an experiment in order to observe the typical downward growth of a maize root. They become familiar with the root's growth patterns to use as a control for comparison in other experiments.

Students conduct an experiment to observe the response of maize roots when rotated 90 degrees.

Students conduct various experiments to investigate plant transpiration. In this biology lesson, students explain how this process helps maintain the hydrologic cycle. They measure the rate of water loss in plants using a potometer.

In this plant worksheet, students review the structure and function of roots, stems, and leaves. This worksheet has 5 matching, 7 true or false, 4 multiple choice, and 10 fill in the blank questions.

Pupils conduct an experiment to determine if a plant's response to gravity is affected by different angles of plant orientation.

Lesson focuses on the Plants in Space experiment which studied how plant roots developed in a weightless environment. Students will conduct three scientific investigations to learn how light, gravity and microgravity affect the growth of...
