![]() ![]() Primary Science Learning Experience PS–54 Phototropism ![]() TRY THIS Open the door. Observe the creeper growing within. How is the light redirected? Does the creeper grow towards the light? Close the door after you finish your observations. WHAT IS HAPPENING This ongoing experiment attempts to demonstrate that plants grow towards light - regardless of the direction from which the light comes. This effect is called phototropism. Green plants seek light for photosynthesis – the process of making food. |
