Ei E: Thinking Inside the Box: Designing Plant Packages Lesson 2

In this parts of a plant worksheet, students look over 10 word shapes and then fill in each box with its appropriate plant part from the word box at the bottom of the worksheet.

Students think like packaging engineers as they examine and identify the functions of a wide variety of packages. [12:10]

Students determine the needs of the plant and the consumer for which they are designing their plant packages. [12:18]
