Welcome to Plant Biology FLEX class. There are no LIVE classes. Plants have an amazing ability to harness energy from the sun. All plant leaves are natural solar panels. The conversion of light into energy takes place within the green pigment in the leaf known as chlorophyll. This is known as photosynthesis. Water moves from the roots to the leaves through the xylem tissues while carbon dioxide is collected by specialized cells on the undersides of leaves called stomata. As a plant draws in air through the stomata, it loses water in the process known as transpiration. This class covers the details of plant growth from seed, germination, seedlings, maturity, flowering, and fruits. Students will learn and name parts of a seed, root, stem, flower, and fruit. Week 1: All about seeds. Week 2: Germination and Roots Week 3: Seedlings and Stem Week 4: Growth and Growing Conditions Week 5: Leaves and Photosynthesis Week 6: Transpiration and Respiration Week 7: Budding and Flowers Week 8: Fruits and Seeds All the videos watched during class will be provided. There are notes offered for each lesson. *** Videos will be posted every week by the teacher. *** There is an Exit quiz every week (Optional.)
