Product Details

Plants need moisture and other key ingredients to grow vigorously and stay healthy. How do environmental pollutants (such as acid rain, fertilizers, street salt and detergents) affect the vigor and growth of plants? What are pollutants to plants? How concentrated do pollutants have to be to affect plants? Students will experiment with different types of chemicals on radish seeds and discover answers to these questions. Teacher Notes, reproducible student handouts and all necessary chemicals and specialized equipment are provided.

Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

Performance Expectations

MS-LS2-4. Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations.
MS-LS2-1. Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem.
HS-LS2-2. Use mathematical representations to support and revise explanations based on evidence about factors affecting biodiversity and populations in ecosystems of different scales.
