Unit 6.5: "Grow Baby Grow": The Factors that Influence Individual Growth

Students examine how environmental conditions, resource availability, competition, and genetics affect organism growth and reproduction. Students replicate an experiment to understand the impacts of these factors on plants grown in the classroom and to model good scientific practice when an experiment provides unexpected results. Students practice developing predictions and making claims supported by evidence and reasoning.
