The warm up today was #2:
What is the difference between vascular and nonvascular plants. The answer is, nonvascular can't support itself, so they grow low to the ground. A vascular support system can grow taller because they have a good transporting system.

Today we learned a little bit more about plants. As it was just mentioned there are two different types of plants. These are vascular and nonvascular plants. Non vascular plants are plants that lack vascular tissue and grow low to the ground.Examples are :Mosses, Liverwort, Hornwort. Vascular plants can have 2 different types of seeds. Some of them are naked , and some have enclosed seeds. Non flowering vascular plants like pinecones, Cycads have naked seeds. Flowering plants have seeds that are enclosed ,like an apple.

After that we worked on a moss lab. We measured, and observed the moss, a nonvascular plant. We will continue on this in class tomorrow.
