INQUIRY QUESTIONS
Factual
What is needed to improve crop growth?
What are the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis?
Conceptual
How can we use our understanding of plant systems to improve plant growth?
How can we manipulate inputs to improve food sustainability?
Debatable
To what extent is eating locally produced food sustainable?
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Sunlight, air, water and fertile soil are required for plants to grow and produce food
2. Nutrient cycles are part of global cycles that move stores of energy and matter through processes
3. Photosynthesis cycles matter and allows the flow of energy into and out of organisms
4.Use experimental and research skills to inquire into sustainable food production techniques
5.Use experimental skills to investigate into factors that affect plant growth.
