Teacher Introduction
 I am a teacher from a high school. This web quest was
designed to sensitize students from the seven grade
about six parts of a plant and their functions. This is a
fun filled activity because students will get the
opportunity to draw the different parts of the plant in
their groups and research on the functions as well as to
present their wonderful art pieces. At the conclusion,
students will understand that a plant has different
parts and that each part has its functions.
