Teaching Guide: Which Environmental Factors Impact Plant Transpiration?
This teaching guide helps educators to integrate the Which Environmental Factors Impact Plant Transpiration? simulation into an advanced high school biology lesson. Students will develop skills in experimental design and data analysis by setting up a virtual experiment to measure whether water loss due to transpiration is impacted by environmental factors of light or humidity.
