This lesson from Science NetLinks, will challenge students to consider the idea of biological clocks. By first observing the opening and closing of a Morning Glory flower, students will be introduced to the concept of biological clocks in a tangible, hands-on way. The teacher will then lead them to identify internal clues they experience at different times of the day and talk about their own biological clocks.
