Abstract:
Many instructors are examining the use of computers as a means of utilizing simulations. This is especially applicable to horticulture due to the time length required to grow real plants. To increase students' understanding of environmental influences on plant growth, a plant simulation game was developed. Game players can alter light intensity, light duration, day temperature, night temperature, atmospheric carbon dioxide level and soil moisture content in their attempt to grow a taller plant.
