Process

Using the internet (other sources are also allowed to be used), research at least 6 locally growing plants.  Your field guide should include:    Please keep track of the sources that you are using so you may document them later in your bibliography.  Your guide should include a title page (name, SBI3C, teachers name and the due date) and a bibliography including any and all sources that you use during the course of your research. Each plant should occupy its own page in the guide.  Your guide should be neat, attractive and functional (in other words, someone should be able to actually use it to identify local plants). Your guide should appear as though you took care in preparing it.

 * Plant Name (include scientific name if possible)
 * A picture of the species of plant. An actual picture of the plant is also good. Drawings are acceptable as long as the resemblance is good enough to identify the plant in the wild.
 * In your own words, a description of the plant including habitat, any classifications (ex. Deciduous tree) and information like growing conditions (ex. Low light levels required) and any other interesting information. You can find out if your plant is susceptible to certain tropisms. You can find out what a tropism is by visiting the following site http://www.essortment.com/all/tropismwhatpla_rfjq.htm. Feel free to google the term and try to learn a little more about tropisms.
