Description: SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY: GENERAL INTEREST (CHILDREN'S / TEENAGE). Without classification we could not make sense of the world around us. Plant Variation and Classification explains how our plant classification system works and looks at how scientists use it to identify and group plant species. The book also examines the variation between and within plants species and discusses how and why such variations have occurred. Fieldwork investigations show you how to classify plants in your area and fascinating fact boxes offer in-depth information on topics such as mutation. An activity project shows you how to create your own classification key. Ages 13+
