Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Plant Growth: Effect of Genes and Environment. Suitable for Grade 4, Grade 5, Grade 6.

Main Concepts

Wind, water, insects, and other animals are natural forces that aid in plant reproduction.
The temperature range of the environment in which a plant grows affects its growth.
The maximum height to which a plant can grow depends on its genes.
Phototropism occurs when an organism (usually a plant) grows in response to a light stimulus in the environment.
Organisms can be classified based on common physical characteristics.
Obtaining and processing nutrients for growth is a life function of an organism.
Animals engage in characteristic behaviors that increase the odds of reproduction.
Access to water affects the growth of a plant.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What are tropisms in a plant? Why do some plants grow differently than others?

After the Game

When you planted the sun vine it grew towards the sun, but the cactus always grew up, Why? Plants reached their max genetic height in rich soils but grew much shorter in poor soils. Why? Is there more involved than just genes when we are looking at plant height?
