Despite their name, Wisconsin Fast Plants (members of the cabbage and mustard family) are used by teachers all over the United States -- because they are ideally suited to short semesters, youthful impatience, and small spaces. This spiral-bound lab book demonstrates all aspects of plant growth and development, while teaching scientific investigation. Activities focus on points in the plant's life cycle, variation and inheritance concepts, and environmental factors. A Science Exploration Flowchart in each activity stresses important process skills.
