They get an opportunity to get an up close look at a plant as they work with a lab partner as a student scientist. In their second visit to us, students learn about leaves and that plants make their own food through photosynthesis and they have a chance to see real experiments about oxygen and carbon dioxide. In their third visit, students learn about the vascular system of plants and study roots and stems. They examine xylem and phloem and watch a stem feed a flower. Finally, in their last visit, students learn about the reason for a flower and how plants make seeds. They examine a dissected flower so that they can observe the inside of the flower.
