The program is designed to appeal to parents and kids alike to create a shared learning experience and encourage kids to pursue their natural fascination with nature and science." -- website. Enzo's message: He believes that humans can live in harmony with animals and the earth without damaging habitats or the environment. He wants to destroy the idea that it is "uncool" to be into science, interested and educated. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=316533 Earth's Birthday Project provides teachers with butterflies and bugs, Big Gift rainforest activities, science symposiums for middle school and science lesson plans to educate children about the Earth. Tens of thousands of teachers volunteer their resources and time to make EBP activities available to their students. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=354496 This is an ecosystems unit designed for ELL students (7th grade) who all share the same first language (Hmong) http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=452114 Free resources for teaching young children about the Bible and how to care for God's creation. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=339425 This site includes a teacher's guide and a student's guide for a large number of activities for exploring the science, applications, and social implications of DNA microarray technology.

This activity introduces students to native plants from there area, with emphasis on the use of flowers for reproduction. I believe that native plants will be of interest to the students, who may have been desensitized to plants because of a lack of diverse or attactive landscaping.
