Tropism: process of plants changing due to a stimulus (changes in their environment) Plants can change Their growth When they reproduce The position of their roots, stems and leaves
Environmental changes (stimuli) that effect plants: Gravity Sunlight Touch Moisture (water)
Phototropism: the way a plant grows or bends because of sunlight

Thigmotropism: the way a plant grows or bends because of touch (stimulus).
Clematis are known for twining vines that revolve as they grow, making a full circle until they find an object to climb; this searching process is known as thigmotropism.

Stimulus (changes) can be positive or negative. Positive = toward stimulus Negative = away from stimulus
Plant moving toward stimulus (the sun).
Negative = roots growing away from sun. The roots are growing AWAY from the sun because they need water for survival.
Draw the tree with roots on your paper and label the positive and negative.

Teams of 2 or 3 with the students around you. We will read an article about tropism together. Pencils are DOWN while reading the article. Then you will answer question 1 with your partner. As SOON as you know the answer and you have BOTH written it on your paper. You can run up and ring the bell. Points: First team: 3 points Second team: 2 points Third team: 1 point
