Salt Lamps and Plants
Students in this lesson will set up an investigation to see if a salt lamp affects plant growth. They will use what they know about photosynthesis and cellular respiration to make sure the plants have everything they need in order to survive during the investigation. At the end of the investigation, they will use results to discuss if/how the salt lamp appears to have affected our plants.

Students will begin the year working with a hydroponics system to observe plant growth. To start the students will be given a seedling and determine what the plant is as it goes through the life cycle
In this hands-on lesson, students will work in groups of 3 and experiment with light on plants to explain photosynthesis. They will conduct this experiment over the course of 3 to 4 weeks. With data
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to
