Engineer a Seed Watcher- Biology, STEM, Tropisms, Botany
Looking to throw some more engineering into your Biology, Life Science, or Botany class? Here is the perfect opportunity!This project requires students to design and build a "seed watcher" capable of watching a pea (or whatever plant you want) seed grow for a week. The catch is that the seed watcher needs to be "flippable"--after a week, students turn the seed watcher upside-down and watch what happens to the shoots/roots. It's a great way to study gravitropism! My students LOVED this project a
