Classroom Techniques to Illustrate Water Transport in Plants
Lakrim, Mohamed
American Biology Teacher, v75 n8 p566-570 Oct 2013
The transport of water in plants is among the most difficult and challenging concepts to explain to students. It is even more difficult for students enrolled in an introductory general biology course. An easy approach is needed to demonstrate this complex concept. I describe visual and pedagogical examples that can be performed quickly and easily during class to assist students in their understanding of transport in plants.
