Pre-Activity 0.2PT: Plant Growth Investigation Setup |
Students will make initial measurements of the dry mass of radish seeds and growth media and start plants growing. |
NGSS Performance Expectations
Middle school
- MS. Matter and Energy in Organisms and Ecosystems. MS-LS1-6. Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms.
High school
- HS. Chemical Reactions. HS-PS1-7. Use mathematical representations to support that claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.
