Module 2: Opening Your Eyes to the Diversity of Plants
This activity picks up from Module 1 where students chose the plant they wanted to represent their botanical history. In that module, they each identified their plant’s family and were given its scientific name. Module 2 provides students with an overview of the four major groups of land plants (bryophytes, ferns and allies, gymnosperms, and angiosperms), as well as familiarizing students with organisms that are often mistaken for plants (e.g., fungi, lichens, algae). Students will also be introduced to the Linnaean hierarchy as applied to major plant groups. Once students become familiar with plant characteristics and distinguishing features for major groups, they will be able to identify the group their own plant belongs to.
