Plant Responses to Stimuli

The video tutorial covers plant responses to stimuli, focusing on how different parts of plants react to water, gravity, light, and touch. It includes methods for observing these responses through various media and creative expressions. Activities from the textbook are used to illustrate these concepts, such as observing plant growth at a vegetable farm. The tutorial also explains the role of roots, shoots, and leaves in responding to environmental stimuli.
