The Effects of Grafting Nightshade Plants Part 1
by Tabatha Hancock
This is a junior high lesson on plant grafting that can be done in a classroom setting or with an after-school club such as botany. This lesson can be easily modified for any grade level. In this lesson, students will investigate grafting and how the technique can be used to create new plants. Students will learn about pomato plants and then graft their own. This lesson is part 1 in a two-part series. It can be done on its own, or part 2 can follow to allow students a chance to see the effects of grafting and determine if the grafting process has an effect on crops harvested.
