This investigation gives students the opportunity to view the outside world and bring science into the field. Teaching students how to identify plants gives them a greater appreciation for nature, just as learning to read words lets young students begin to appreciate literature. As older students learn to identify plants, they become educated about what lives in the watershed and they develop a greater desire to preserve it. They also become familiar with invasive species that may be invading their watershed. This free selection includes the Table of Contents, Preface, and the Index.
