Experiment set BIOLOGY 5: PLANTS 1

Description

For all age groups

When combined with the basic BIOLOGY set, the PLANTS 1 experiment set enables over 30 student experiments to be conducted on the swelling, germination and growth of plant seeds, photosynthesis and water management in plants. Experiments marked with a * are suitable for students of all ages while those marked ** are intended solely for those in upper secondary education.

Very different and varied work methods are involved depending on the age group of the students. This experiment set is especially suitable for introducing students to the concept of working on their own, from making observations and formulating scientific questions and hypotheses to designing, executing and evaluating experiments and then developing their skills in an age-appropriate manner.
