Week of 9/20

This week, students investigated and classified real leaves by using the "What Tree Is It?" website. Students had to investigate each leaf's characteristics, and then use these facts to find out the name of the tree from which each one came. We also discussed the importance of seed plants and how these plants have adapted in different ways to disperse their seeds.

Reminder: Although the leaf collection project is due on October 12, remember to start NOW! If you turn the project in next week, you will receive 10 extra credit points. If you turn it in the week of October 4th, you will receive 5 extra credit points. Remember that you can also receive extra credit for adding up to five more leaves to your collection!
