Curated OER
What Do Plants Need?
Students experiment with plants. In this plant lesson, students research the needs of plants. Students determine if all plants have the same requirements for growth. In small groups, students experiment with different plants.
Curated OER
Leaves
In this biology worksheet, students write identify the different parts of a leaf shown in 5 different diagrams. They also complete 12 short answer questions after reading the information about leaves.

Teaching about Increased Conductivity: Are Culverts The Culprits?
Students encounter the complexity of identifying the cause of unusual variations in WOW conductivity data. They propose theories on why there was a sudden increase in conductivity in Ice Lake, Minnesota during July of 1998.
