Wisconsin Fast Plants® Information Documents (WFPIDs)

The Wisconsin Fast Plants Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has developed nearly 50 WFPIDs covering a variety of Fast Plants topics and activities. These WFPIDs are full of hands-on, practical information to help you get the most from Fast Plants. We encourage you to use them.

Reproduction and Fast Plants

Bees & Brassicas: A Partnership in Survival
(PDF Download)
Why do bees need brassicas? Explore the relationship between bees and brassicas, and how and why they came to coevolve.

Double Fertilization

What happens after plants pollinate? Explore the process of fertilization by observing the changes in your Fast Plants after they have been pollinated.

Embryogenesis - Going for the Globular
(PDF Download)
How does an embryo develop into a seed? Dissect and explore the developmental stages of embryogenesis in Fast Plants and see for yourself.

Flowering and Pollination - Pollination Biology

How do plants and flowers mate? How do bees play a part in it? Examine the process of pollination by making bee sticks, using them to pollinate your plants, and observing the results.

Hormone Induced Parthenocarpy
(PDF Download)
Test 3 plant hormones/growth regulators for their ability to produce parthenocarpy (induction of seedless fruits) in Fast Plants.

Pollen Germination and Fast Plants
(PDF Download)
How long would it take to stimulate Fast Plants® pollen to germinate in a sucrose-salt solution? Find out in this exercise, using materials like sugar, salt, Fast Plant flowers, and a compound microscope.

The Hunt for Glucose
