Students will learn to calculate time required for corn to progress from one development stage to another based on the amount of heat accumulated.
This diagram and corresponding photos show stages of corn growth. Information sheet from DEKALB shows the relationship between growing degree units (GDUs) and estimated days to reach a certain growth stage of corn development can help growers make timely applications of fertilizers and pest/weed control.
With an understanding of plant anatomy and physiology, students will be able to problem solve to identify plants they see daily. This lesson will walk students through plant physiology and provide some activities that will help students learn the plant structures. Developed by Brent Nollette,
