Understanding Life Processes in Plants

by: John Haysom and Michael Bowen

Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) sequences provide an important way to enhance students' understanding of important scientific ideas. In this chapter, the series of experiments help students understand life processes in plants. The experiments include concepts such as how seed germination requires oxygen, plant growth and nutrition, light and plant growth, conditions for plant growth, water loss through the leaves, and how water travels through the veins of plants.
