Understanding the Role of Soil in Plant Growth Experiments

Explore how experiments help determine if plants need soil to thrive, delving into the essential components for plant growth and the methods used to study their requirements. Engage in predicting outcomes and designing experiments to test the necessity of soil for plant life.

1. PLANTS AND ANIMALS LESSON 3D.1 How Can Experiments Help Us Find Out Whether Plants Need Soil to Live and Grow?

2. Unit Central Question Do plants and animals need the same things to live and grow? Explain your thinking.

3. Our Plant Experiments What are we trying to find out from the two experiments we set up?

4. Todays Focus Question How can experiments help us find out whether plants need soil to live and grow?

5. What Do Plants Need to Live and Grow? Do plants need soil to live and grow? Why or why not? Sentence starters: My idea is My evidence is I agree because I disagree because Photograph by Margaretshear

6. How Did We Set Up Other Experiments? What did we do with the two plants in our light experiment? What did we do with the two plants in our water experiment? Photo courtesy of BSCS

7. Lets Plan an Experiment! Turn and Talk: How could we plan an experiment to find out whether plants need soil to live and grow? Be ready to share your ideas with the class! Photo courtesy of congerdesign/Pixabay.com

9. Our Predictions: What Will Happen? Our question: Do plants need soil? Our experiment: Some seeds will have soil, and some seeds will have no soil. What do you think (predict) will happen to the seeds? Photo courtesy of BSCS Photo courtesy of BSCS

10. What Did You Predict? What do you think (predict) will happen to the seeds? Sentence starters: Our prediction is Our evidence is I agree because I disagree because

11. Lets Summarize! Our focus question: How can experiments help us find out whether plants need soil to live and grow? How do you think the experiment we set up today can help us find out whether plants need soil to live and grow? How is today s experiment like our experiments with light and water?

12. Next Time Will our seeds grow without soil? Stay tuned to find out! Photo courtesy of BSCS
