This is the second (and final) Science NetLinks lesson in a series on plants. In this lesson, students will complete a project in which they choose a plant and try to propagate it. The project will take about 6 to 8 weeks to complete. During this time, students will research propagation, attempt to propagate a plant, keep a journal, and write a summary when the project is finished.
