My rating of this resource: ****
My experience using this resource: plant nutrition
Topic I was teaching: My students were conducting a self-designed experiment focusing on the relationship between nutrients and plant development. I discovered this site in my information background search.
My learning goal for which this resource was used: "The Dirt On Dirt" - To have students appreciate that dirt can be beautiful and very "alive"!
Course Level: Intro or Regular, Remedial
How I/my students used the resource: Students used this site as a background resource when exploring the relationship between nutrients and plant development.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Increases modeling skills, Increases access to scientists, Provides additional content, Increases student engagement and motivation
Strengths: accessible, appealing, grade 8-9 vocabulary base, informative
Weaknesses: very accessible but may need to create a users guide to help students stay focused and sure to capture goal concepts.
