Innovating Science™ Nutrient Deficiency in Plants Kit

Description

Examine the effects of nutrient deficiency on plants.

• Much like people, plants need food. While plants can generate some nutrients through the process of photosynthesis, the plant must obtain many nutrients from the environment.
• Using the materials provided, students can observe the effects of nutrient deficiency on plants. Specially prepared nutrient solutions (included) allow students to deprive each plant of one of seven specific vital nutrients.
• Over time, students determine the effects, if any, of the nutrient deprivation through physical observation of the plant's growth.
• Contains enough materials for three complete setups.
• Kit Includes:
  • Solution A 200 mL calcium nitrate 1M
  • Solution B 200 mL potassium nitrate 1M
  • Solution C 100 mL magnesium sulfate 1M
  • Solution D 50 mL potassium phosphate 1M
  • Solution E 25 mL sodium phosphate 1M
  • Solution F 100 mL sodium nitrate 1M
  • Solution G 25 mL magnesium chloride 1M
  • Solution H 25 mL sodium sulfate 1M
  • Solution I 50 mL calcium chloride 1M
  • Solution J 50 mL potassium chloride 1M
  • Solution K 100 mL micronutrient solution
  • Vermiculite, 500 g
  • Cups, 24 (clear plastic, 5 oz.)
  • Cups, 24 (clear, 7 oz.)
  • Absorbent wick pads, 24
  • Radish seeds
