WHAT WE ARE MAKING
WHY WE ARE MAKING IT
a storyboard of the stages of seed growth
to track the growth of the seeds that we plant
Description
The first few moments of a plant's growth are often it's most critical. By storyboarding the stages of seed germination, we will gain a better understanding of what plants require to survive.
Instructions
On the printed storyboard template sheet, follow the slides in illustrating and annotating the growth of a seed from a seedling into a fully mature head of lettuce.
Deliverables
A copy of the seed growth storyboard that we can use to track the growth of our hydroponically grown lettuce.
