Your task
Hints
-determine the characteristics of a living thing
-determine the basic needs of a living thing
-raise plants keeping all constants the same
-divide plants into groups to change 1 variable in each group
-click here to gain access to the University of Utah Genetic Science and Learning Center, and learn about cell parts
Timeframe
-you will design and carry out your experiment during the cellular anatomy unit
-you will then learn about microscopes and their usage, gaining your microscope license to look at the plants you are experimenting with under the microscope
-your observations during the microscope unit will gain enough data for you to make a detailed conclusion
GOOD LUCK, AND HAVE FUN!
