This unit teaches students about the differences between three common plant types and helps them explore the ways in which humans have used these plants through the ages.

The second part of the web quest, on human use, provides much less structure in the source material provided. Be prepared to help students make use of different search engines to gather information for their papers.

The conclusion suggests that the students prepare for a group discussion of forward-looking issues. These discussions can take many forms, including student- or instructure-led guided discussions, prepared presentations or simple classroom talks.

Additional resources for extended study may include a local Master Gardener organization or the county extension agent for your location.
