 * ** Essential Questions > ** |||||||| * How do organisms grow, develop, and increase their structural complexity through differentiation?
 * What evidence do we have that seeds are living organisms?
 * What are the parts of a seed?
 * What is germination and how is it sequenced?
 * What are cotyledons and how do they aid in germination?
 * What are the structures & functions of roots?
 * How does light effect the germination of roots?
 * How can we compare and contrast monocots & dicots?
 * What are methods and reasons for seed dispersal? ||
 * You will **__KNOW__** that….

1.) The role of cotyledons in early plant growth. 2.) The development and function of roots in early plant growth. 3.) Plants have a variety of adaptations to disperse their seeds. ||
 * 1) Seeds contain the dormant, living embryo of a plant.
 * 2) Germination is the onset of growth and differentiation in plants.
 * 3) Growing roots typically have a root tip where cell division takes place, a zone of elongation, and a zone of maturation where root hairs develop.
 * 4) The cotyledon is the primary source of energy for seed germination.
 * 5) Seeds must be dispersed from the parent so they don’t compete for resources. ||
 * It’s important to **__understand__** that…
 * You will be able to….


 * 1) Dissect seeds to discover their structures and functions.
 * 2) Observe germinating seeds to determine their sequence of development.
 * 3) Use good lab procedures and data recording to investigate the early development of two groups of complex plants, monocots and dicots.
 * 4) Investigate the effects of light on germinating seeds.
 * 5) Identify seed dispersal methods.

(Lab book page 30 "SEED DISSECTION" )

 * You will dissect a dry seed and a wet seed and label what you see and observe.
 * Drawings need to be:
 * Accurate
 * Labeled
 * Neat
 * Colored where appropriate
 * Answer all questions on page 30 in complete sentences and have me inspect your work.



EQ: What is germination and how is it sequenced? (Lab book page 31 "ROOTS & SHOOTS" )

 * You will track the germination sequence of seeds over 4 days. Days 1 - 3 will be done on lab book page 31. Day 4 will be done on the sheet pictured below.
 * [[file:Roots & Shoots - Day 4.tiff]]
 * Accurate
 * Labeled
 * Neat
 * Colored where appropriate
 * Answer all questions on page 31 in complete sentences and have me inspect your work.
