Activity 4: Tropisms & Seedlings. Watch the YouTube about Tropisms. Define Phototropism,
Geotropism, and Thigmotropism. Draw examples to accompany your definitions. Watch the
YouTube about Seedlings. Complete the STEMscopes 7.7C Explore student journal background
section. How do seeds know which way to emerge?
Activity 4: Create a Prezi, Google Slide, or iMovie that explains in detail what tropisms are and
why they are important to plants. What role do tropisms play in the emergence of seedlings?
Which tropism do you think is the most important? What would happen if plants did not have
that tropism?

define the following: pressure probe, water, osmosis, turgor pressure, central vacuole. Make
a prediction and record it in your journal. Create the Effect on Water of Broad Bean Plant
chart in your journal. Record your data. Was your prediction correct? Observe
phototropism. What do you think caused the roots and shoots to grow in the direction that
they did?
