• Plant Lab
    Students planted seeds of plants representing major crops; corn, wheat, and beans.  The plants were grown under artificial lights using "Plant Mobiles".
    We used three Plant Mobiles for this lab.  Each class had 120 plants, for a total of 360 plants.
    The students watered and measured the plants daily for three weeks.

    Samples were left in continuous light for several days.
    Students generated graphs and made observations.
