SPECIAL COLLECTION:
ECE 2019 - Scavenger Hunt

This page contains plants used for the Early College Experience Biology Workshop held April 2nd, 2019. It closely mirrors some of the plants used for the BIO1108 Scavenger Hunt - Spring 2019 version.

Note that the regular BIO1108 hunt does not utilize the locator maps or plant list, instead relying on students spending time in the greenhouse to discover the plant materials themselves. Visiting ECE groups may wish to utilize the locator maps due to the constraints of a limited time visit to the facility.
