  1. ; ; (, Science scope)
    This article describes a six-day 5E lesson where students take on the role of horticulturists to help their mentor, Dr. Doust, in identifying the best growing conditions for a new species of plant from the Amazonian Rainforest (see Slide 1 from the Engage Teacher PowerPoint; see also Supplemental Materials). Students explore the different wavelengths of visible light and seek an answer to aspects of the lesson’s driving question, “How can different light colors affect plant growth?” The activities in this lesson provide students with the skill set to construct scientific explanations based on evidence for how environmental factors influence the growth of plants. Additional detail about managing each of the activities described in the manuscript is provided in the Supplemental Materials and include PowerPoint presentations, teacher handouts, rubrics, and student handouts for each phase of the lesson.
