Lab: Carnivorous Plants From Seeds

Lab: Propagating Carnivorous Plants from Seeds Purpose: Investigate the plant propagation technique of plant division from seeds, and produce a variety of carnivorous plants.Materials Provided:    1 Seed pack of assorted carnivorous plant seeds    1 Cup with lid    Sphagnum peat moss    Student directions and data sheet (automatic email delivery)Materials Needed:    1 Pint distilled water or rain water    Optional: Magnifying Glass    Optional: 3" pots and CP soilGrade Level: 4-5 elementary, middle school, high school, undergraduate. Carnivorous Plants are easy to sprout from seeds. They require steady conditions of dampness, and low light. It's curious to see the young plantlets which resemble their parents in miniature detail. They slowly grow into mature plants. In this laboratory experience students learn and practice the propagation method of division from seeds.. They observe and sow seeds in damp peat, record observations, and harvest yound carnivorous plant plantlets. They can
