Fast Plants

We've been talking about testable and non-testable questions. From there, students formed their own questions to look at independent and dependent variables affecting plant growth. We will be using Wisconsin Fast Plants for these experiments- here is a time lapse video of them in action. Students could choose one variable to change regarding food, space, light and water.

Not only do these sort of environmental factors affect growth, but genetics play a part as well. We will be diving deeper into that subject next!
