6th Grade Agriculture Students “Leaf” No Detail Unturned
(11/10): Pontotoc Middle School’s 6th grade Agriculture students have been busy turning their recent field trip to Trace State Park into a hands-on research project! After collecting a variety of leaves along the trails, students used plant identification apps to discover each leaf’s common name, scientific name, margin type, and shape. They also determined whether each leaf was deciduous or evergreen and if it was simple or compound. By blending technology with outdoor exploration, these young botanists are learning how observation and science work together to unlock the secrets of nature—one leaf at a time!
