| This discovery-learning simulation is an excellent introduction to the science inquiry process. Kids select plants and regulate up to three variables that affect growth. They then collect and analyze the information to identify the growth characteristics of their plants.Features multiple difficulty levels.Contains student records and a variety of management options. | ||
Introduction
In Woolly’s Garden, children assume the role of scientists as they set out to discover how each of four variables (type of plant, temperature, length of day, and amount of water) influence the growth and yield of plants. The program enables children to explore the relationships between the four variables and plant growth and yield in an undirected, open-ended environment.
