=Summary=

===Classrooms around the world choose Daffodil and/or Tulip bulbs to plant during the same week in November. Students will be asked to collect temperature data throughout the experiment and report to the group – in addition they will report when the blooms appear etc. ===

=CCSS Alignment for Grades 6-12=


 * ===**6.RP.3 **: //Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.// Students calculate ratios based on rate variables (sunlight, water, plant growth) and convert units between standard and imperial metrics (centimeters to inches, etc.). ===
 * ===**7.RP.1 **: //Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units.// Students can graph according to different combinations of variables and calculate rates with different lengths or in different units. ===
 * ===**8.EE.5 **: //Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways.// Students graph the results of their experiment and compare across group experiments to determine differences in variables. ===
 * ===**A-CED.2. **//Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales //**. **Students will use different variables (sunlight or water for eample) to solve problems related to the optimal conditions for tulip or daffodil growth. ===
