The Wonderful World of Carnivorous Plants
Carnivorus Plants will not be offered in 2009
About the Class
Carnivorous plants are those incredible plants that have the unique ability to capture, kill and consume animal prey. The Venus Fly Trap is a familiar example, but many other fascinating carnivorous plants are part of our natural world. Wisconsin is home to several carnivorous plant types.
In this course, students will be given the opportunity to see, touch and smell living examples of several carnivorous plant species. Students will learn about carnivorous plants' unique adaptations and their occurrence in the wild. Craft activities will be an integral part of the learning. Participants will also receive a carnivorous plant to take home.
