Wisconsin Fast Plants Experiments

The biggest project of the trimester, taking over a month and culminating in oral presentation at the DPSS (DRIMAS Plant Science Symposium) was our Wisconsin Fast Plants project. Students teamed up, chose an independent variable and dependent variable to test, and carried out experiments, growing the plants in various conditions. The students then analyzed their results and created a lab report and oral presentation of their findings.

Below, each group’s written report is linked in the title for the group. Check out the videos of their presentations at the DPSS, and follow along with the slides!
