Microscopy Uk: Water Movement Through a Plant

Learners construct a model of the hydrologic cycle, and observe that water is an element of a cycle in the natural environment. They explain how the hydrologic cycle works and why it is important, and compare the hydrologic cycle to...

When a minnow eats a piece of plastic, that garbage often tracks through multiple animals, causing harm to each as it passes through the food chain. Scholars learn about food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids with a presentation. It...

This tutorial examines how water moves through a plant. Follow the pathway that water takes through plants from the roots to evaporation from cells in the leaves. Learn what controls rates of transpiration, how environmental conditions...

We know plants assist in the water cycle, but how do plants get water from the ground into the air? Through a series of demonstrations or labs, scholars observe the movement of water through plants. They microscopically view the cells...

Rally your administration and facilities manager to let your class examine the water flow rates in different areas of the school. After the audit, the class researches opportunites for conserving water and writes a report or develops a...

Water flow isn't solely based on gravity. Pupils explore the formula for the potential of water through a measurement of psi based on the solute potential and the pressure potential. The lesson analyzes the example of placing salt...

Observe the stages of the water cycle by completing 3 activities. To help understanding of the water cycle your students can observe evaporation, the formation of frost, vapor and water and the process of distillation which is used to...

How quickly does a plant transpire? Learners explore this question through measuring water uptake with a potometer. They time the movement of a bubble a set distance to understand the motion and rate of speed.

Dive into a single drop of pond water to discover the microscopic world of freshwater organisms. Learn about protists, bacteria, and other tiny inhabitants that can only be seen under a microscope.

This video segment adapted from Last Oasis highlights the impact of a variety of water conservation efforts including installing low-flow toilets and planting grass that does not require a lot of water.
