This web site is about plants. You will learn about how plants grow and the different parts of a plant. We will tell you how seeds travel and what bees do to help plants. At our web site, you will also learn about plants and their relationship with animals. Students and teachers, be sure to check out our page with plant activities. Please sign our guestbook and let us know what you think. We created a survey for you to fill out because we would like to learn about plants and animals where you live.

We decided to make this web site to be used as a reference for people studying plants. In the fall of 1997 our fourth grade class did a unit on plants and found little information on the web. We also did a unit on endangered animals, so we decided to gather information on plants and endangered animals. We used KidPix for all our graphics and Microsoft 3.0 for our reports. We wanted our web site to be simple so all our teachers could use it. At that time our our teachers had Macintosh LC520s in their rooms. Our school already had the KidPix and Microsoft software on every computer. At the bottom of this page you will find a link to Hinkle Creek Elementary School.
