Plant Research Project

We are beginning our final research project for the school year this week.  Each student has selected a type of plant that he/she would like to study for their project.  During our research, we will focus what facts might persuade someone to buy each type of plant.  

What are we learning this week?

Our research writing this week will focus on the different parts of the plant and why each part is important.
