Carnivorous Plant Dissection

I dissected a carnivorous plant today, and I found tons of bug's remains.

Carnivorous Plant Information:

Pitcher plants have "lids" to keep out rainfall. They grow in soils that don't have many nutrients. They have deadly nectar.

If something touches a venus fly trap's trigger hairs twice in 30 seconds it causes it to close trapping whatever is inside. They grow in soils with low nutrients. They are very rare to find in the wild.

Sundews grow in low nutrient soils. They have sticky bubbles on the outside that look like water, but when a bug goes up to it it gets stuck to it, and the more it struggles the more it gets caught so then the sundew's red bubble is acid which breaks it down.

Tropical Pitchers can have really big pitchers. They grow off the end of leaves. They grow on other trees.

August 25, 2010 OH Day

We went to school this morning, and then wrote on the lists asking what is the best food, if you were a mad scientist what would you create, and what is the best villain. After that, we went to the couch and voted on our new mascot (The OH Vipers). After that we had a 90 minute focus time. Then we went and had a community brain break. So we had another 90 minute focus time after that. Then we ate lunch at Cowgirl Kitchen, and played kickball. So we had music for an hour, and now school is almost done.
