Today we read a newspaper article with the heading: Scientists Discover Corn Plants Make a Noise.We learned that corn plants make a clicking noise (the human ear cannot hear it) and will react to the clicking noise. Students were asked the following: No one knows why plants make these clicking noises. Why do you think they make them? Reasons students gave for the clicking noise: -There are actually small bugs inside the corn plant that is responsible for the noise. -The clicking noise is the result of the plant growing. -The plant makes the clicking noise as a result of the wind. -The plant makes the clicking noise to attract bees in order to pollinate it. |
