Module 4 – Plant Dissections
It’s incredibly fascinating to look at such tiny details of plants! I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment and did much of it with my 11 year old granddaughter. I have a big family reunion this weekend and have to cook for 50 people so I pushed myself to get this done …
plant bingo
plant bingo Here’s my updated plant bingo. The silique is from an internet picture now. The porate anther dehiscence was very hard to find, and then photograph! The photos might have gotten blurry when it converted to pdf to upload, but I could upload the photos separately if needed.

Plant BINGO
This was actually a lot of fun, I was able to use my microscope and dissection kit. I trie to test myself and pull one plant and from that single plant cut and label as much as possible to fill the entire BINGO board, and because of that it actually …
