High School Science Plant Labs

This site is the result of a collaboration with the Vierling Lab at the University of Massachusetts and science teachers at the Amherst Regional High School. Our goal is to better incorporate the use of plants into our life science classes including Ecology, Environmental Science, Biology, AP Biology, and AP Environmental Science. This site includes fully developed lessons as well as ideas we are starting to develop.

If you have suggestions or questions, please reach out to us!
