Title: Evaluate the effect of temperature on plants.
Course: Introduction to Plant Systems (18051) > Section: Evaluating the Environmental Stimuli that Affect Plant Growth and Development

Evaluation should be made by conducting experiments, incorporating the scientific method, and incorporating variables to include

- heating
- cooling
- shading systems
- cool-season vs. warm-season plants
- warm-loving vs. frost-tolerant plants
- tropical vs. subtropical plants.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How can temperature affect biochemical reactions?
- What are the differences between cool-season crops and warm-season crops?
- What is hardening-off and why is it important?
- When are dormant plants impacted by temperature?
- How does cold damage occur?
- What symptoms will a plant display if it is exposed to excessive cold or heat?
- What effect does temperature have on plant dormancy?
- Why is plant-temperature tolerance important to know?
- How does temperature affect the germination rate?
