Investigating Phototropism: The Response of Seedlings to Light

One of a series of resources from Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS) investigating key topics in plant biology. This activity offers a simple way to investigate phototropism: the response of seedlings to different wavelengths of light. This technique will help students investigate this tropic response, using seedlings in film canisters.

The resource is suitable for use at GCSE and can be developed for A level investigations.
