Week 3 : Plant Stimuli Experiments
In small groups of 3-5 you will be given a Experiment to plan that investigates different ways plants grow to various stimuli. The experiments will be:
Investigate the growth rate of plants under varying pH soil conditions.
Investigate the growth of plants under varying light levels
Investigate a plants reaction to light stimulus
Investigate a plants( creeper) ability to follow a complex growth path
Investigate the ability of a plant to orientate its growth due to gravity.
Evidence of this task is to be done in your Digital Science Journal ( Down the back) and Must use the standard Experimental headings below.

Week 4
Extended Group TASK : Microscopic Pond Life
Complete 3 microscope sample recordings of what you see in Pond Water IN YOUR WORKBOOK ( use a plastic cup to draw appropriate size viewing circle)
You must draw a REPRESENTATION for each SAMPLE you look at. Also write down the :
- Microscope Used ( Compound or Stereo )
- Magnification ( example : x 40, x100, x400)
- Short description of the object viewed ( Minimum 25 words)
- and try to identify what it is using the link below. Give it a NAME or TITLE
