  1. The Tree-mendous Benefits of Trees - Teacher Guide

    16 Oct 2020 | Contributor(s): plantingscience

    Trees are a critical component of our ecosystem: They can produce the food we eat, oxygen that we breathe, shade from the sun, and so much more. Trees are an important and recognizable part of landscapes and forests, but most people don't think about the importance of trees and their value to the...

  5. Primary literature!! Blackawton Bees Paper

    12 Jul 2016 | Teacher Resources

    Hi all! Attached is the link to the peer reviewed literature article that I discussed briefly this morning! I'm also including a link to a TED talk by the scientist who spearheaded the project to give you some context. It makes science way less scary for a lot of kids. Enjoy! :)  

  6. Genetics in Inbred Arabidopsis - Student Guide

    17 Jun 2016 | Student Resources

    What is a trait?Biologists use the terms "trait" and "phenotype" interchangeably. They both describe theexpressed characteristics of an organism. The color of a leaf, the height of a plant, the smell of a flower – these are all traits. This is not the same as an organism's genotype, although...

  13. Pollen Module Overview

    16 Jun 2016 | Teacher Resources

    Abstract: This module provides great flexibility. You can choose some or all of the activities. Each section is posted in separate pdf files on the PlantingScience website, on the Plant Themes / Pollen page. Activity Set A is a basic orientation to plant anatomy in relation to where pollen is...

  14. Corn Competition - Student's Guide

    16 Jun 2016 | Student Resources

    In this module, you will think about germination and plant growth by working to grow the tallest possible corn seedlings. After growing your plants, you will discuss what you learned with your classmates.

  15. Activity Set C: Field Study of Flowers and Pollinators

    24 May 2016 | Teacher Resources

    Summary: In outdoor field settings, students investigate animal pollinators, most likely insects and hummingbirds. Student inquiry questions will be explored by collecting data on pollinator visits to flowers. Students count the number of pollinator visits to flowers during timed observation...

  16. Activity Set B: Exploring Pollen in the Atmosphere

    24 May 2016 | Teacher Resources

    Summary: Students explore wind-pollination through investigating pollen in the atmosphere. They construct simple pollen traps and set them outdoors. Using a staining technique to distinguish pollen from other material on microscope slides, students conduct pollen counts from the collected...

  17. Activity Set A: Background for Inquiries Investigating Pollen in Plant Reproduction

    24 May 2016 | Teacher Resources

    Summary: Students gain background knowledge for inquiry investigations through dissecting flowers and/or cones and observing pollen grains through compound microscopes. In addition, students conduct either a guided or open inquiry investigation by growing pollen tubes. Through these activities,...
