Unit 4: Living Organisms Activity 6: Producing from Cuttings (GLEs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 46)
CC: Allow the students to suggest the plant parts from which they would like to try to grow a plant. Students will explore growing plants from cuttings. A variety of cuttings from different plants should be tried in water and/or on top of soil or sand. Observations will be made in their science journals.
Observations can be made and students can take picture with a digital camera to attach to their journals. Journals can be created in PowerPoint.
CC: The teacher and students may consult a local nursery, www.Botany.com, or the Cooperative Extension Service in locating plants that can be generated from cuttings.
