You planted your seeds just underneath the soil. This means that while they could get heat from the lamps we placed above them, they were not getting much (if any) direct light. From where did your seeds get the energy they needed to break open their seed coats and begin to grow up to the top of the soil? Please explain.

Hayden wondered what would happen if he were to remove the two cotyledons from one of his small seedlings. He noticed a small leaf growing up in between the cotyledons. Can you predict what will happen to the plant if Hayden removes his two cotyledons? Please explain using some of the vocabulary words from this week, as well as ideas from Chapters 2-3 in your Power Plant packet.

Monday, 14/5 (all periods)
What happens to a single molecule of water inside of a green plant. Start your account with the individual water molecule located in the soil.
- This JQ is similar to the question on page 65 of your Power Plant Packet. (Mr. M provided a model answer to this question for you in class on Tuesday, May 15th and gave you the opportunity to grade your own work. He showed you how/why this was a 6-point question–you should now have the correct answer to the question recorded in your lab notebook, your Power Plant Packet, and/or your own personal class notes.)
Tuesday, 15/5 (all periods)
What happens to a single molecule of carbon dioxide inside of a green plant. Start your account with the individual carbon dioxide molecule located in the air.
- This JQ is similar to the question on page 67 of your Power Plant Packet. (Mr. M provided a model answer to this question for you in class on Wednesday, May 16th and gave you the opportunity to grade your own work. He showed you how/why this was a probably a 3 or 4-point question–you should now have the correct answer to the question recorded in your lab notebook, your Power Plant Packet, and/or your own personal class notes.)
Wednesday, 16/5 (all periods)
What happens to light energy inside of a green plant. Start your account with the light energy traveling from the sun.
- This JQ is similar to the question on page 70 of your Power Plant Packet. (Mr. M provided a model answer to this question for you in class on Thursday, May 17th and gave you the opportunity to grade your own work. He showed you how/why this was a 4-point question–you should now have the correct answer to the question recorded in your lab notebook, your Power Plant Packet, and/or your own personal class notes.)
Thursday, 17/5 (all periods)
What happens to a single molecule of food (e.g., glucose) inside of a green plant. Start your account with the individual food molecule located in a leaf cell.
- This JQ is similar to the question on page 74 of your Power Plant Packet. (Mr. M provided a model answer to this question for you in class on Friday, May 18th and gave you the opportunity to grade your own work. He showed you how/why this was probably a 2-3 point question–you should now have the correct answer to the question recorded in your lab notebook, your Power Plant Packet, and/or your own personal class notes.)
Friday, 18/5 (all periods)
What happens to a single molecule of food (e.g., glucose) inside of a green plant. Start your account with the individual food molecule located in a potato located underground.
