Let’s start Botany!

 Plants, or Kingdom Plantae, is Modules 14 and 15 (2e) or Modules 12 and 13 (3e).  Why now?  The daffodils are in bloom.  I bought daffodils in bloom at Walmart for $12.97.  We’ll plant the bulbs in the garden after to have blooms next year.  (I would have liked to start protozoans and compare them with bacteria.). Tomorrow we are doing this Daffodils Flower Dissection, this Fruit Dissection with apples, and this Spinach Leaf Paper Chromatography lab.  (This Spinach Leaf Chromatography lab explains Rf and paper chromatography.  But, the lab uses acetone.  My kids are pretty literal.  I’m using the first spinach leaf lab with isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol instead.). Two of my groups work well and often complete lab early.  Just in case they finish early, I have this POGIL activity ready called Photosynthesis and Respiration.  I’ll post pix tomorrow during lab.
