One of my goals of late has been to spruce up, improve and update the quality of my teaching materials on plants. No changes had to made to the content. I love teaching plants, and I was already doing a great job with the content. I just wanted to make my materials more attractive and more visually appealing for my students.
So what's new? I have made a very picture-ific 97-slide PowerPoint presentation, added some crossword puzzles, a set of PowerPoint review questions, and some new daily quizzes. I have plans for new homework assignments, study guides, and a few new labs I want to try out. My problem is that I have more ideas than I have time to carry them out! All in good time, I guess.
At any rate, one of the new things I have just created is a graphic organizer for comparing and contrasting the major groups of living plants. When a lot of new material has been covered, my students sometimes struggle with remembering all the details. A teaching tool that never fails to work is a graphic organizer. When the content is logically organized and put into place, studying by the student becomes much more effective.
I have listed this new graphic organizer for plants in my TpT store. It allows the students to compare the liverworts, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. It is a freebie, so be sure to click the links below and grab a copy for yourself. I hope you find it useful.
