This would be a great place to tell your stories of how CPs generate enthusiasm with school children.

This is not a personal story but I stumbled onto a related web page from the University of Missouri St. Louis Department of Biology on "Bringing Carnivorous Plants to the Classroom" dousta.umsl.edu/patrick/carnivory/index.htmlEdit: Oops, it might be better to start this as a new thread/topic rather than a reply. |

Good work Alex. Have you any photos of your presentation that you might be able to share? I'd love to see what you set up if it's not too much trouble for you.

in the 6th grade i did a report on sundews (capensis "alba"). I wanted to see which they liked more, cheese or butter. I think they liked cheese more.

When I was little someone brought in a whole tray of various CPs for show & tell... Sun Dews, Venus Flytraps, Pitcher Plants... myself and my classmates were delighted... that was probably no later than 2nd grade, LOL. I think it was 1st or Kindergarten though.

My fiancee is a NYC school teacher, elementary school... She's been watching my growing interest in my Dionaea seedlings with curiosity... She mentioned the possibility of incorporating one of my planters into a lesson later this year, but we'll see...
(Shouldn't be a problem... Two years ago, when I was a grad student in Neurobio, I brought in a whole bunch of Drosophila (fruit fly) larvae at different developmental stages to show her students... That seemed to work well too...)

Excellent idea to incorporate your seedlings into a lesson plan her elementary school students. Children of all ages get a big kick out of "bug biters". Please do share your seedlings with your future wife.

Hello All,
If anyone needs some high-resolution pics of CP habitats, etc....just let me know. I'd be glad to donate some to any projects that further the public's knowledge of CP.
Happy Growing,
Brian.

I made a project this year on how to grow nepenthes from seeds, I got a 4+ (A+). Although, I failed at keeping my little nep seedlings alive.   |
