The package contains diagrams, examples and explanations. It includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the PowerPoint), 2 embedded videos and a student lesson handout as a word document which follows the PowerPoint.

Included in the lesson package is:

– The student version of the PowerPoint

– Inquiry Lab Activity

– 2 videos embedded into the PowerPoint

In order, the lesson covers:

– Germination

– Which factors affect germination?

– Human factors that negatively affect germination

The student version of the PowerPoint contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
