  Seed Germination Lab
  Lesson Plan (PDF) Lesson Plan (DOCX) with Membership
  Experiment The goal of this basic lab is break the misconception that photosynthesis is how plants grow. Students should also learn that plants grow by cell division.

  Cell Cycle Flipbook
  Lesson Plan (PDF) Lesson Plan (DOCX) with Membership
  Project Students learn about the cell division by creating a paper flipbook animation including interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis. This project can easily be converted into a meiosis flip book.

  Plant Growth Solutions Lab
  Lesson Plan (PDF) Lesson Plan (DOCX) with Membership
  Experiment Students will learn how photosynthesis is used by a plant to make sugars. These sugars are then used to perform cellular respiration to make energy. The sugars are converted into larger molecules like cellulose to help build the structure of plant cells. Students should also recognize that plants grow by cell division.
