This four-part video series covers the topics outlined in the National Science Education Standards, AAAS Benchmarks for Science Literacy and major texts. The Plants in Our Lives program explores the great diversity of the plant world, and the early history and origins of plants. In Photosynthesis and Plant Resources students will learn why photosynthesis is so important to us and how a plant responds to certain stimuli and various tropisms.
