Hurumanu - Carnivorous Plants

AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATURE OF PLANTS

Carnivorous Plants

Plants fall into two categories:

1. Evergreen

2. Deciduous

Deciduous

Evergreen

Find three examples of each:

Evergreen: 

1. Pine tree  

2. Eucalyptus tree

3. Kauri tree  

Deciduous;

1. Oak  

2. Maple  

3. Spruce 

LEAVES

Simple                                 Compound   

Choose a leaf and do a leaf rubbing.

Conclusion:

Today in Science we did a experiment called Carnivorous Plants. I was working together with Keyana. We had to find a leaf around the courts and then trace it over white paper with a crayon. After we have done that, we had to try and draw a simple leaf and a compound leaf and write down the three types of trees under evergreen and deciduous. 

It was a really fun experiment and I enjoyed learning about it.
