Instructional Ideas

• Flip the classroom and have viewers watch the video and take notes at home, coming to class the next day ready to have a whole-class discussion
• Copy the experiment in the video in the classroom, having learners keep track of their observations in their science notebooks

Classroom Considerations

• Best shown before planting class plants and during a unit on photosynthesis
• Video is part of a series of resources that focus on living things that use photosynthesis to grow

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Models how to grow and plant a plant
