Overview:

This blog post from the Wisconsin Fast Plants website features an NGSS-aligned Open Source Lesson Plan for Investigating Ecosystem Dynamics with Fast Plants. The featured lesson plan is available to be downloaded and edited as needed via Google Drive. The investigation challenges students to gather background information and design/implement an ecosystem experiment, modeling different growing environments with Fast Plants. The experiments provide evidence which students can use to develop claims about the effects of different environments on populations.
