Plant as a gift

Part of Lesson Plan: The Effect of Hormone Concentration on Plant Propagation

Activity Overview / Details

Before I start this lab I show students a Fuchsia plant.  I make this story how this one plant is my favorite and how I enjoy the color and I want this plant to be with me forever.  I tell them how I am afraid it is going to die.  I ask them if their is anything I can do to keep it alive.  My students have done research on plant propagation so it leads into stem and leaf cuttings.  I then talk about Home Depot and how they have different products that promotes root growth.

 

I also read to students an email from a teacher who recieved a gift of a cloned fuchsia from three years ago and how much she loved it.  I tell them if they have a successful lab they will be able to give these fuchsia away as gifts for the holidays.
