BULLDOG BRILLIANCE Third-Graders Classify Plants in the Dows Lane Garden  Dows Lane third-graders enhanced their study of scientific classification by stepping outside their classrooms and into the school’s garden to investigate different botanical families. Facilitated by PTSA member and garden coordinator Delina Codey, the students used taste, touch smell and visual observation to identify similarities and differences between plants in the carrot, mint, nightshade, squash and aster families. The students compared carrots, parsley, fennel and Queen Anne’s Lace in the carrot family; basil, mint, oregano, thyme, lavender and bee balm in the mint family; tomatoes, peppers and ground cherries in the nightshade family; and cucumbers and squash in the squash family. They also studied the aster family, which includes sunflowers, lettuce and zinnias, by drawing pictures of the flowers. “It was a great, hands-on way for students to understand the process of scientific classification,” Principal Deborah Mariniello said.
