Plant Growth Experiment Data

Read the reproduction passage together, then have students give their own example of each kind. For the bean plant data, have students write the conclusion only after the bar graph is drawn.

Graph sample week 4 bean plant heights for 0 to 12 hours of light and name the variables. The directions on the page read: Read the investigation and study the table. Draw one bar for each group on the graph. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade living things, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with reproduction and plant growth. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

In asexual reproduction one parent produces offspring identical to it, which is fast but creates no variation. In sexual reproduction two parents each give half of the offspring's genes, which is slower but creates variation.

Sexual and Asexual Reproduction lists bacteria splitting by binary fission, yeast and hydra budding, strawberry runners and an eye on a potato sprouting into a plant.

In Plant Growth Experiment Data the independent variable is hours of light and the dependent variable is plant height. The type of bean, pot size, soil, water and temperature stay the same.
