Careers |
Investigative cases require learners to pose their own questions as well as present their own conclusions.
Cases should be done collaboratively.
Exploring resources by both the teacher and learner is an essential step.
|
Images and seed keys are useful for seed identification. Germination requires specific conditions and the sequence for different plants helps us identify a timeline.
Crop and ornamental seed supplies are maintained by scientific study and methods.
|
Seed image capturing allows us to compare seeds more easily.
Online image databases and seed keys are available.
Pelleting technology provides advantages for seed viability, germination, and growth.
