Cultural Uses of Plants: A Guide to Learning About Ethnobotany
Developed across 15 years of practical classroom experience by a gifted teacher in the Boston Public School System, Cultural Uses of Plants challenges middle- and high-school students to design and implement their own unique experiments starting from a reference point they can relate to: a useful plant in their own cultures. Each inquiry-based unit includes Questions for Thought, so students can review what they've learned, and Laboratory and Field Activities, where students go step-by-step through experiments or projects in which they record their data, analyze their findings, and draw their own conclusions.
