Describe the life cycle of a plant. || The unit is intended to accompany faciliation of Investigations 1 and 2 of the [|Structures of Life Foss Kit from Delta Education]. As well as completing all the activities in the two investigations, students also conduct investigations to determine what soil qualities promote germination and plant growth, devise a plan for growing the largest possible plants in a given time frame, and document their activities and reflections on a class blog.**

 * Current Resources:

There are not nearly enough resources created yet. This unit might not even be worth evaluating at the moment.**

Even the resources here aren't finished/assimilated to my unit by a long shot. I'll update everything once there is actually time to work on things.
