Growing Gloves—Super Value
Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
What a view! Enable your students to clearly observe all the structures of “unknown” germinating seeds right on your window. Clear, plastic, five-fingered gloves allow comparison of different plant embryos as they grow and develop into plants. Students will easily notice the defining structures of monocots and dicots and be able to categorize accordingly. An excellent, easy-to-follow introductory germination activity at a super value price! Reproducible student worksheets and Instructor Notes included.
Super Value Kit is complete for 5 classes of 30 students working in pairs.
Seed Germination and Moisture—
Guided-Inquiry Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
The experience of watching seeds germinate and determining what might affect that germination is very revealing to students. Students use a variety of “liquids” on radish seeds to determine their impact on germination. The results will surprise students on how sensitive seeds can be to their surroundings. Instructor Notes, reproducible student handouts, and all necessary chemicals and specialized equipment are provided.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
Seed Germination Set
A convenient selection of seeds for germination studies and experi- ments. Includes two types of dicot seeds (radish and pea) and two types of monocot seeds (barley and corn) so students can witness firsthand the developmental differences from seed to young plant.
Plant Wars—Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Plants are “at war” all around us—engaging in alle-
lopathy. Allelopathy is a poorly understood process in which certain plants release chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants. One of the best known examples is the black walnut, Juglans nigra, which secretes a chemical called juglone, a toxic substance to many plant species. Tomatoes and many other vegetables suffer “walnut wilt” and die if their roots come in contact with the roots of walnut trees. Students germinate two types of seeds to determine if any allelopathy exists between the two species. The results are dramatic and serve as a stimulus for further study of allelopathic interactions. All seeds and germinating materials are provided.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
