Asexual-Sexual Reproduction

One of our state standards is asexual and sexual reproduction. Plants are the examples to be used here. Students will use the digital cameras in our outdoor classroom to document examples of sexual and asexual reproduction. They will also use the images captured on the print to dissect a flower and find all the reproductive part wihout taking a real flower apart.
