Abstract

Biology students need special incentive to learn plant physiology. Framing plant function as 'behavior' analogous to animal neurobiology and behavior and integrating active learning methods is a successful way to generate an inclusive space for a wide range of learning styles, cultural backgrounds, and scientific contributions.

Keywords: active learning; physiology; plant behavior; signaling.
