Features around two dozen intriguing science projects about seed plants which are used because they're readily available, inexpensive and quickly and easily grown indoors. The experiments include topics such as the effect of acid rain on plants and growing plants in hydroponic solutions. Each project requires no unusual equipment and includes a step-by-step experiment, followed by suggestions for further investigations.

Simple experiments help young scientists explore the diversity, behavior, survival needs, and adaptations of plants and animals.

This book discusses the process of photosynthesis, the life cycle of plants, the differences between short day and long day flowers, and much more. Filled with projects that use plants as the basis for experiments, it includes seeds, flowers, leaves, plants and even grass.

An accessible resource that can be used alongside the Advanced Biology text or any other core Advanced Biology text, as it covers the practical element for AS and A Level Biology.

Directions for simple experiments which require only a microscope and household objects to prove some basic scientific facts about plants, animals, and human beings.

Sunlight, air, water, and minerals help keep plants alive. But do you know how much water is needed for a seed to sprout? Or what a plant will do to find the light it needs? Let's experiment to find out! Simple step-by-step instructions help readers explore key science concepts. Projects include materials easily found around the house and will inspire learning and creativity!

In this volume, Robert Gardner presents experiments that will help secondary-level readers learn about the plant world. Some experiments help readers understand the process of photosynthesis. They will also learn the life cycle of plants and discover the difference between short-day and long-day flowers. Most of the projects in this book contain excellent ideas for science fair projects. All that is needed are some simple materials, most of which can be found around the home or school.
