Going to the Botanical Gardens

Biodiversible Teens

Today I went to the botanical gardens with the Outdoor Community gardens. it was very fun and adventurous. by looking at the flowers and the plants, you can tell that alot of them were still dead, dbeacuse of he cold temperatures. some of the plants that i saw was a chinese juniper, lambs ears, and a snow drop, also known as the christmas flower. it is called the chriistmas flower because it is white and even though it is the winert and  normaly flowers dont grow as much, this flower grew, it grows ous out of the snow, thats why they call it a snow drop. some of the flowers that i noticed today was the camelia, tasmania tree ferm, baby tears, sheild fern, farfugium, japanese holly fern, begonia, boston fern, sping star-flower, cylomen, rex begonia, and the chocalate flower. i also saw a couple of birds like the robin bird. I saw two ducks, one male and one female. the male ducks are usally green and they have a little black outline. the females are brown, they most likely are bigger than the males.

Kim,
Why do you think female ducks are typically larger than male ducks?  Can you explain?
Thanks!

So Kim what's your group's next step? How do you think you might utilize what you saw at the gardens in your group's activities?
