Here is a sample activity to use this poster with students:
Choose a plant near you and dedicate 5-10 minutes to quiet observation. Look closely at its overall form and its individual components- leaves, flowers, bark, and any fruits. Try to find other organisms using, living on, or visiting the plant. What interactions do you notice? Are there tiny insects, larger creatures, or even signs of homes on its branches? Use the relevant poster as a guide to discuss the diverse life forms you observed and their unique
relationships with the plant. What unexpected discoveries did you make that aren't on the poster? Could the students collectively make a poster like this for another plant, based on their local observations and research?
