Picture plants and give scientific name, where you found it, derived
You need to choose TEN plants from the list given:
1) Green algae
2) Bryophyte (liverwort, moss, or hornwort)
3) Lycophyte
4) Pterophyte (fern, whisk fern, or horsetail)
5) Gymnosperm
6) Angiosperm Monocot
7) Angiosperm Dicot
The remaining three can be anything else you find interesting. Have fun with it!
Take photos with your iPad camera (you may need multiple pictures to document the entire plant, leaves (if any), flowers (if any), other interesting structures).
Put together a report (Word or pdf acceptable, but probably easier for all of you if it is a Pages document), on your ten plants. Include for each specimen,
A) Photo(s)
B) Scientific name
C) Where you found it
D) How it is classified
E) Derived features it has (e.g., for the angiosperms, you could say “flower” and “fruit”)
F) Anything else interesting you have learned
G) The source(s) of any information you included that did NOT come from your own brain
Happy hunting!
P.S. You should be able to find most of these around somewhere (at home, campus, lab. If you have trouble finding one of the list (my guess would be the lycophyte will be the most challenging), it is okay to swap it out with something else you found so you can still have all ten.
