The 5th graders have been studying plants. We had a (very difficult) test yesterday on plant parts. Today we started learning about the different kinds of plants.
The first group we will study are the nonvascular plants. These include the mosses and ferns. Today we took a careful look at moss. Tomorrow we will learn about ferns.
Every year I think I should start this unit earlier so I could actually go out and find moss and ferns before they die off for the winter. I always end up buying ferns at a florist, but I did manage to chip away from the icy ground some pieces of moss from under my deck yesterday.
