Three weeks prior to beginning the Mystery at Sunrise Farm Pond, two experiments need to be set up and have time for organisms to grow before students can explore the target concepts.  For both experiments, the teacher will do the initial set up, and the students will make periodic observations over the three weeks.  Students will not discuss the concepts addressed by the experiments during this time.

Step 1: Setting up for Part One, Student Experience 3 – What happens when nutrients are added to pond water?

Step 2: Setting up for Part One, Student Experience 4 – What do plants need to grow?
