Plant project
You will choose one plant from each of the following:
- Green algae, moss or fern
- Gymnosperm
- Angiosperm
Once you have made your choices, for each of them you must find and display the following information:
- Give their names following the scientific classification guidelines as well as their everyday name and First Nations name.
- Describe their physical characteristics.
- Explain how they are adapted to live in their environments.
- Describe how they reproduce (this may be done using a chart or labelled drawing)
- Describe their ecological roles.
- How might these plants be used by the First Nations in those regions where they are found?
- Explain how they grow.
- You can make a table describing similarities and differences amongst the choices (option)
- Describe their roles as potential pioneer species.
- Discuss something unique and/or that you find terribly interesting about each one of your choices or perhaps something that your choices may have in common.
- Be curious and dig deep
As for the type of project, that will be left up to you and discussed in the classroom.
Time – You will have 2 weeks of in class time to work on the project with expectations that you are to continue to work on it at home. There will be lectures also throughout that time.
Assessment – A rubric will be developed once you have chosen the type of project that you wish to do.
