How does a plant turn sunlight and CO2 into more plant!? Find out from the first of five student-produced science music videos from the 2015-2016 Science Rap Academy. “They Grow” is a science-ified version of “Headlines” by Drake. It was researched, written, sung, shot, filmed and edited by 8th graders from The Nueva School in California.
