Plants

Emilio, David, and Izreal are working on a school project about photosynthesis. They are discussing which gas that provides essential nutrients is absorbed by plants from the atmosphere. Can you help them with this?

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

• Carbon Dioxide

• Phosphorous

Dallas, Sophia, and Alexis are on a field trip to a large greenhouse. They learn that the greenhouse uses plants to purify the air. What gas would the plants release during photosynthesis that humans can breathe?

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

• Carbon Dioxide

• Phosphorous

Imagine Daniel, David, and Dallas are on a science field trip to a botanical garden. They observe a plant converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose. What kind of energy is the plant using for this incredible transformation during photosynthesis?

• Mechanical energy

• Light energy

• Soil

• Electrical energy

Daniel, Olivia, and Alexis, our young botanists, embarked on a practical experiment in their backyard to understand how the amount of water affects the growth of green onion plants. They carefully noted their observations in a journal.

Can you help them interpret the data correctly?

• Green Onion Plant A, the one Daniel was observing, had the most growth.

• Green Onion Plant D, which was under Alexis's care, had the least growth.

• Green Onion Plant C, that Olivia was monitoring, outgrew all others.

• Green Onion Plant A, Daniel's plant, didn't grow at all.

Hafiza, David, and Cienna formed a research group and embarked on an exciting journey to explore how the amount of water influences the growth of green onion plants. They meticulously documented their observations in a chart.

Can you guess under what conditions the Basil Plant C, their favorite, thrived the most?

• Was it in plain water with no access to air?

• Or in soil with access to air but no access to water?

• Perhaps, in nutrient-rich water with access to air?

• Or was it in nutrient-rich, moist soil enclosed in a plastic bag?

Emiliano, Marco, and Gianna are on a field trip to a botanical garden. They encounter a guide who will only let them proceed if they answer a question. The guide asks, 'From where do trees get the essential nutrients, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen?'

• From the water and soil

• From the minerals and air

• From the water and minerals

• From the water and air

Emilio, Daniel, and Marco are working on a school project. They want to investigate whether radish seeds need light to germinate. They set up an investigation in which two radish seeds are placed in a damp paper towel inside an open plastic bag. They place both bags on a windowsill. One bag is covered with a black piece of paper After 10 days, they will measure the length of each seedling. They are trying to determine which variable is the independent (tested) variable. Can you help them figure it out?

• the type of seed they are planting

• the amount of water they are providing to the seedling

• the length of the seedling

• the amount of sunlight the seedling is receiving
