FAST PlANTS

As an instructional materials development and outreach program sponsored by the

National Science Foundation, we are committed to helping educators plan and present

workshops and to provide technical assistance.

The Wisconsin Fast Plants Program is directed by Professor Paul H. Williams, Department

of Plant Pathology, University of Wisconsin-Madison. The staff works with cooperating

teachers to develop classroom materials, which are published in manuals and in Wisconsin Fast Plants/Bottle Biology Notes, a biannual newsletter.

The following is a list of the current reprints and manuals available directly from the

Wisconsin Fast Plants Program.
