2nd Grade Explores the world of Plants!

2nd graders have started their new unit on plants by making detailed observations on 5 different plants!  They used their senses to help them describe the plants.  They also remembered that properties are a way to sort and categorize different objects including plants!

The leaves feel rubbery and watery comes out when you squeeze it.

Would a fruit fly get trapped in the venus fly trap?

The tallest plant we looked at.

The leaves are almost furry!  And it smells good!

Can it bite my finger?

It's lavender!

So prickly. We were surprised to find
out the spikes are the cactus's leaves!

This plant is the only one that has a hairy stem.

One of the pitcher plant leaves has
 a fly dangling right in front of it!
