II.7.1. Transportation in plants
Activity 1: Investigation rate of transport in xylem in ventilated vs non-ventilated conditions (prep / class- lab / pairs- individual report graded)
Activity 2: Design a set of three flash cards for water absorption / transpiration pull / translocation (individual - graded)

Keywords: Xylem / Phloem / root-hair cell / transpiration / stomata / translocation
Command terms: Define / State / Describe / Compare / Relate / Explain / Discuss
II.7.2. Transportation in humans
Activity 3: Heart models competition - putting together all parts and answering at least 3 Q per team: structure's name + function.
Activity 4: Investigating the effect of increasing exercise on heart beat rate - hopefully outdoors ;))) practical in pairs - individual report graded.
