Plant Structures<\/h3>\n

Lab this week has specimens, models, and posters organized into four topic areas: leaves, stems, roots, and plant classification\/identification.\u00a0 For each of these four sections, you will be selecting two things you are interested in learning and making media to teach that topic to someone else.\u00a0 In total you will have eight topics you are teaching about plants.<\/h6>\n
You can be strategic about your topic choices if you like, selecting topics to populate some of the nine outcomes for your final portfolio.\u00a0 For example, you may want to make media about what plant structures look like under the microscope and slot it into your portfolio under Biology Skills (microscopy).\u00a0 Or you may want to press a leaf and use it to make an art piece for Environmental Biology Connections.\u00a0 There are many ways to successfully complete this assignment and work on the final portfolio at the same time.<\/h6> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

If you run across plants around campus and take photos or press a fallen leaf, your work may fit under this labs topics of leave, stems, roots, classification, as well as match learning outcomes<\/a> for your final portfolio.<\/strong><\/h6> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
