Plant Grouping Activity
Nature NuggetObject Lesson★★★★The children are given seed packets and asked to group themselves according to the scientific names of their plants. They find that zucchinis, pumpkins, butternuts, and other squash all share the same scientific name (Cucurbita Pepo), while watermelons have a different one (Citrullus lanatus).
