Plant Science PAC
The Plant Science PAC allows students to explore the world of plants as they discover their many important uses. In order to observe plant development, students conduct their own experiments. Under every good plant there is a strong root. Through hands-on applications and observations, students discover how the root system works, the stem’s role as a transport system, and the many parts and functions of leaves. Students will begin learning to identify different types of plants just by looking at their leaves. Also, using a soil test kit, students will be able to test soil samples for pH and study its effect on plants. Everyone enjoys the beauty and fragrance of flowers. As beautiful as they are, their main function is propagation. Students gain an understanding of flowers and their major role in the reproduction of their species. Students study the different categories of plants and how they get their names. They explore plant cells and how they are constructed, and study the physiology covering photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration. They also conduct chemical equations.

Without
green plants, life could not exist. Plants supply the earth’s
ecosystem with the necessary oxygen to sustain life. In return,
while humans and other animals use this oxygen, they supply carbon
dioxide to plants. Plants also serve as a vital link in the food
chain.
