Leaf Structure and Function

This creative and easy-to-use resource introduces leaf structure and function. It begins with a discussion about adaptions and the structures that make leaves specially adapted for their function. It includes cross-sectional diagrams through the leaf for students to label, before inviting students to design an experiment to investigate whether plants lose more water from the upper or lower leaf surface. It includes a writing frame to help support students as they design, carry out and evaluate their experiments, as well as a true or false quiz to finish.
