cardstock. Cut these apart so you have a set of five
descriptions (one for each plant you have researched.)
Type the name of the plant on another piece of card stock.
This should be bigger and bolder than the definition.
ATTACH THE
PHOTOS
Attach your photos or drawings to card stock (or, print them

of the definitions. Be sure to write the correct plant name on
the BACK of the definition card AND the photo/drawing card
so your classmates can check their own work!
