In Botany today we were studying the differences between monocots & dicots. We talked about their seeds and then discussed that when you see a flowering plant, the easiest ways to tell them apart are as follows:
* monocot leaves have veins that run parallel to each other while dicots have veins that branch
* monocot flowers have petals that come in multiples of 3, while dicots come in multiples of 4 or 5
After discussing this, we went into our backyard to find monocots & dicots & to sketch them in our Botany Journal.
