The interdisciplinary activities described in this article require students to study various ethnic groups and cultures within a context of ethnobotany, which is the study of how people use plants. Students engage in perspective taking, learn to appreciate and value multiple views of the world, and form positive relationships with others regardless of ethnic or cultural heritage. The activities are woven into a multicultural framework designed to develop concepts about plant characteristics and taxonomy and to reinforce links between ecology and plant life (i.e., abundance, distribution, food, and medicine).
