How are these two plants are different?
Do a little web surfing on your own and discover some specific uses of plants. Look for two plants used as medicines, foods, building materials, artistic uses, etc. Be creative, but ready to justify why this is important to human kind. Once you’ve decided on two plants, look for at least 3 websites related to your “use” of plants. Write a paper comparing and contrasting these two plants.
