My lessons are designed to help students understand the differences between two commonly confused plants: henbit and purple dead nettle.
I will use a variety of formats to present the information, including visual aids, descriptions of the plants' physical characteristics, and comparisons of their habitat and lifecycle.
I will provide tips for identifying the plants, including how to distinguish them from lookalikes and poisonous plants.
I will emphasize the importance of these plants as early food sources for pollinators, and highlight their potential uses for humans as well.
I will draw on my experience as an educator to present the information in a clear and engaging way, using real-world examples and interactive activities to help students grasp the concepts.
I will encourage students to explore their own gardens and neighborhoods to find these plants and observe their characteristics firsthand.
Overall, my goal is to help students develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the diversity of plants that exist within it.
