Understanding Plant Growth and Life Cycle

The video tutorial guides students through a project-based learning activity focused on planting and observing plant growth. It includes steps for planting, observing, and analyzing plant growth, as well as reflecting on the project experience. Students are encouraged to prepare a presentation of their findings. The tutorial also covers plant functions and photosynthesis, concluding with a preview of the next topic on the states of matter.
