Plant Identification Display Booth

Numerous products in our everyday lives are derived from plants. Such things as peanut butter and canola oil may be obvious, but did you know that plants give us diapers and some pillows? At the plant identification booth, students are shown a variety of plants; some native to Minnesota and Canada, and some from other regions of the U.S. They learn what parts of the plant are used for various products. The students are able to touch the plants and seeds to help them identify each plant. Finally, they play an interactive game in which they match common products to their plant origin.

Here participants learn to identify various types of plants
