Mel and Jermaine learned from their science teacher that some of the trees in the small grove of orange trees on their
school's campus might be suffering from citrus canker. This
bacterial disease can affect any type of citrus tree and causes
brown spots on the leaves and fruit of an infected tree. As the
disease progresses, it can lead to loss of leaves, shoot
dieback, and early fruit drop. Jermaine and Mel work with their
science teacher to devise a plan to investigate and stop the
spread of this disease.
List two types of technology the students will need to conduct
their research and how they will use those tools. Explain the
benefits and limitations of these two pieces of technology.
Give an example of a model Mel and Jermaine could create to
help in their investigation and explain a limitation to that type of
model.
