Wednesday- Tuesday Big Lab!


WAKE UP WE'VE GOT MORE LAB TO DO!

So to start of here are just a couple of photos of just a few of the 9 lab stations. You have station 5's radish plant were we learned about how the sunlight effects the plants growth. In this case the plant will actually tilt itself towards the light. Also in station 5 there was the corn. The corn showed the effect of gravity on a plant and its roots. Roots alway grow down because of gravity so when looking an the sideways corn seeds all the roots are trying to go

Your next picture is of station 3. In station 3 we learned all about nonvascular plants like mosses. So we studied four different types of mosses as well as reading about nonvascular plants in the textbook. The next picture is of radish seeds in station 2. We put these under microscopes and viewed the tiny thin white hairs that came out from the root. We decided that the hairs were used for efficiently getting more water and nutrients by creating more surface area as well as helping the plant stay grounded. So there is a very small short overview of just a couple of the labs. And heres a review of what we (or what you should have) learn!

REVEIW

You should know.....
  • how to identify the Zone of Elongation found in the Meristematic Zone
  • What the difference between Vascular and Nonvascular plants
  • ----------What each has and doesn't have
  • How gravity effects plant growth
  • How sunlight effects plant growth
  • ----------Temperature and position
  • Difference between Dicot and Monocot and how to identify them
Hopes this helps with the studying. The homework was just to finish the lab and 4 questions on the first two pages of 23.5

AND the next scribe is ....... JORDAN! Love you!
