Monday and Mosses


Today we studied non-vascular, seedless, non-flowering plants. We had some moss in the classroom. Each team got to look at the moss through a magnifying glass. Then they looked for the rhizoids that anchor the moss to the ground. They drew the tiny leaves on the moss. We discussed how moss and other non-vascular plants obtain moisture and nutrients since they do not have roots. Then we went back to the classroom and the students watched a P.P. presentation on non-vascular plants. This covered different types of non-vascular plants: mosses, liverworts and hornworts. It also had information on rhizoids, and plant reproduction.
