Forest Plants: From the oxygen we breathe to the food we eat, we
owe our lives to plants. Plant variety is essential to life, and rain forests
shelter more than half of all plant and animal species on earth. Rain forests
straddle the equator in a belt called the tropics. The tropics receive
more direct sun than the rest of the earth. That means more solar energy
for photosynthesis - the process plants use to make food. This supports
more plants, which in turn support more animals in the food chain.
Plant Growth and Development: The various hands-on activities found in the STC Plant Growth and Development unit will nurture students' enthusiasm as they examine in detail the complete life cycle of a plant. Making
a Sponge Garden: Good experiement and activities for growing plants.
