Supplier:  Innovating Science™ IS3050

Catalog No. S05798

Description

Much like people, plants need food. While plants can generate some nutrients through the process of photosynthesis, the plant must obtain many nutrients from the environment. Using the materials provided, students can observe the effects of nutrient deficiency on plants. Specially prepared nutrient solutions (included) allow students to deprive each plant of one of seven specific vital nutrients. Over time, students determine the effects, if any, of the nutrient deprivation through physical observation of the plant's growth. Contains enough materials for three complete setups.
