Charles Darwin called the Venus’ Fly Trap ‘one of the most wonderful plants in the world’. In this activity, students investigate what causes a Venus’ Fly Trap to shut its trap. These experiments are related to a series of investigations that Darwin carried out as part of his work on evolution and adaptation.
A basic investigation is outlined in the student notes. Students may then choose to carry out additional investigations.
Learning outcomes include conducting fair tests, collecting reliable data, and designing students’ own investigations to extend understanding.
