Learning Task 15-04: Growing Plants Watch the "Growing Plants" Gizmo and use this student sheet to guide you. REMINDER: When you are testing the different soils or the amount of light or water in this activity, be sure to only vary one factor at a time and keep all the others constant. Don't forget to check the rubric. Student Exploration: Growing Plants Vocabulary: compost, fertilizer, mass, seed, soil, variable Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. What do you think plants need to grow and stay healthy? 2. Soil is a combination of tiny rock fragments and decayed plant materials. How do you think soil helps a plant? Gizmo Warm-up: Grow the Biggest Plant! 1. In the Gizmo set up the three pots however you like: - Choose a seed to drag into each pot. - Click on the light bulbs to turn them on or off. - Drag the Water slider up or down to set the amount of water each plant will get. - If you like, drag fertilizer or compost into a pot. - When the pots are ready, click Play (·) and wait for the simulation to end. 2. How tall was your tallest plant? 3. Click Reset (?) and Clear pots. Run a few more trials to grow the tallest plants you can. What conditions led to the tallest plant? Question: Do seeds need water to grow? 1. Form hypothesis: Do you think seeds need water to start growing? Explain why or why not. 2. Set up Gizmo: In the Gizmo, set up the three pots like this: - Pot A: Bean seed, two lights on, 0 mL water per day - Pot B: Bean seed, two lights on, 50 mL water per day - Pot C: Bean seed, two lights on, 100 mL water per day 3. Experiment: Click Play to start. When the simulation is done, observe the plants. 4. Collect data: Fill in the data table below with the height and mass of each plant on day 50. (The mass of a plant is the amount of matter in the plant. It is related to how heavy it is.) In the last column describe what each plant looks like. 5. Draw conclusions: Do seeds need water to grow? (Was your hypothesis correct?) 6. Revise and repeat: Is more water always better? Create your own experiments to find the ideal amount of water for each kind of plant. Explain your findings below. Question: How does the amount of light affect how plants grow? 1. Form hypothesis: A variable is something that can be changed in an experiment, such as the amount of light. How do you think the amount of light affects how plants grow? 2. Experiment: - Set up the three pots with 50 mL of water per day, plain soil, and turnip seeds. - Turn on three lights over pot A, one light over pot B, and zero lights over pot C. - Click Play. - After 30 simulated days, click Pause (II). 3. Collect data: In the table below, describe each plant after 30 days. 4. Draw conclusions: Select the DATA tab. Look at the graphs for Plant height and Plant mass. How did the amount of light affect the growth of plants? 5. Think and discuss: Click Play and let the simulation continue to 50 days. Based on what you have seen so far, what do seeds need to grow into healthy plants? Draw conclusions: What did you discover? Why do you think it happened that way?
