Ward's® Effects of Environmental Pollutants on Plants Lab Activity

Comprehensive Investigation for Examining Various Aspects of Plant Growth

Whatever topic you wish to cover in your plant growth studies, you’ll find an all-inclusive lab activity using Rapid Radishes to help teach the concepts. Comes with self-watering seed starter tray, Rapid Radish seeds, all necessary propagating materials, growing guide, teacher’s guide, and student copymaster.

Students study lethal dosage, bioassay, test population, and risk, and see that the effect of even normally safe, everyday materials introduced into the environment depends, in part, on the amount added. Other investigations involve identifying “mystery” substances, studying groundwater contamination, and the effect of organism age on chemical insult, acid rain, and atmospheric pollution.
