We're going on a scavenger hunt

Plant identification - a great way to get outside with the kids and show them how to use reference materials/do research, discuss attributes/identifying characteristics, use descriptive vocabulary, common uses and discriminate what a reliable sources of information is. Its like a scavenger hunt! 

What plant is this?

Here are some great resources:
-Alaska Native Plant Society
- Wildflowers of the United States, Alaska
- USDA Plants Database
