Transport in plants - delivery guide
A set of ideas and resources for teaching about transpiration and transport in plants at A level, along with some common difficulties which students have on this topic in exams.
Activities include The weirdness of plants, which gives ideas for raising students’ curiosity about how plants live. Associating water transport in the xylem with desert survival, and sucrose transport in the phloem with products like maple syrup, gives an anthropocentric point of reference for exploration of the mechanisms of transpiration and translocation.
