Questions I need you to answer:
1. What do you notice about the stomata? Are they all the same?
2. Sketch out the different stomata shapes and LABEL where the guard cells are
3. Do you think the dead leaves on the ground have the same shaped stomata? What about other leaves? (no you cannot touch my plant. It is special to me)
​

​Stomata

Photosynthesis happens in a place called the chloroplasts. You can see them in the little grass leaves ( I hope)

• Let's go outside and get a grass that's alive and green. See if you can find a dead blade of grass. We're going to compare.
