Botany class presentation
​Research a plant that interests you. Bring the plant to class (or a sufficiently-big portion of the plant). While showing the plant to the class, give a 3-4 minute talk covering ALL of the following items. You can use a hand-held iPhone-microscope during your talk if that helps (it will be supplied). People are going to be fact-checking your answers while you speak, so they better be correct! 
  1. State the correct phylum AND species for this specimen
  2. Identify the plant parts. Be specific! Use your book. 
  3. Explain this particular plant's life cycle. Research your book. 
  4. What are it's "seeds"? Does it have seeds? 
  5. How does it pollinate? Be specific! Research your book. 
  6. What are the uses for this plant? Can you discover any? Medicines, paper, wood, strictly ornamental, shade, food for animals or humans, beauty/color, landscaping, clothing, chemicals, weapons, erosion control, lawns, boatbuilding, other industrial uses?
