Exploring Nature: Identifying Wild and Garden Plants

Exploring Nature: Identifying Wild and Garden Plants

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to identify and name a variety of wild and garden plants.

What do you already know about identifying different types of plants?

Introduction to Plants

Plants are living organisms that vary in size, shape, and color. They can be found in the wild and in gardens.

Types of Wild Plants

Wild plants grow naturally in the environment without human intervention. They can be found in forests, meadows, and mountains.

Types of Garden Plants

Garden plants are cultivated by humans for their beauty or practical use. They are often found in parks, gardens, and homes.

Plant Identification

To identify a plant, we can observe its leaves, flowers, fruits, and overall shape. Each plant has unique characteristics.

Interactive Activity: Plant Images

Now, let's look at a series of plant images. Try to identify and name each plant based on its visual features.

Discussion: Sharing Observations

What did you notice about the plants in the images? Can you name any of the plants based on what we discussed?
