Description+of+Intermediate+Plant+UDL+Unit

Using the UDL approach, students actively explore the science of photosynthesis in multiple ways:

 Each activity includes a discovery question to help students refine their understanding as they progress through the unit. They are:
 * A fictional story
 * Hands-on inquiry experiments to testing conditions on computer models.
 * Data collection, using Vernier probeware allowing students to dissect elements of the graph to further their understanding.
 * Scaffolded assistance to questions and offered choices for demonstrating what they’ve learned through text or drawings.
 * Coaches offer prompts, hints, and models to engage students in the science content.

• How do plants make food to grow? • How do leaves make food for plants? • What happens inside a leaf? • Do plants breathe? • How fast will a plant grow under different conditions?
