The Institute for School Partnership proudly presents … The Secret Lives of Plants
This free workshop is for middle school students (grades 6-8). Join Washington University Biology Professor Richard Vierstra and his college students in a fascinating look into the plant world. This hands-on workshop is modeled on topics taught in his undergraduate course.
Activities include:
- A look at the different foods eaten by people from a variety of cultures
- Extract plant DNA
- Dissect seeds to show the young plants and the sources of food for their growth
- Illustrate how chloroplasts that conduct photosynthesis move about plant cells to optimize light capture
- A look at carnivorous plants that eat insects to survive
