1. BELL WORK 2/17/16: You need a pen/pencil, your journal, and today’s handout Read and summarize the paragraph at the top of your handout. You should be highlighting, underlining, or circling important words and phrases!

2. Set up the next page in your journal…
Date:
Title: Plant Response
Essential Question: How do systems interact to help plants respond to their environment?
NOT Cornell notes

3. Just like we saw in yesterday’s activity, there are many parts involved in making something work! In this plant unit, we will focus on the parts and processes involved in:
Response
how do plants respond to their environment?
Reproduction
how do plants make more plants?
Transport
how do things move around inside a plant?
We combine individual parts to make a system.
Those systems work together to help a plant maintain homeostasis.

4. Today’s system is RESPONSE.
A plant’s response system is made up of HORMONES. Each hormone (chemicals inside the plant’s body) causes a specific reaction in response to something in the environment. These reactions are called TROPISMS.
You have three hormones and four tropisms listed on your handout. Remember that these are only a few examples!!
As you watch today’s video, write down 2-3 examples for each tropism. (You will turn in the handout before you leave – I will return it tomorrow so you can glue it into your journal.)
