The mountain laurel plant only grows in the mountain habitat of Georgia. This plant grows on rocky slopes in forested areas. A student wants to know if this plant could survive in the marsh and swamp habitat. What question should the student ask and why?
Does the marsh and swamp habitat have rocky soil? No, the mountain laurel could not
survive since the marsh ground is very soft and does not contain the type of rocky soil
that it needs to grow.
Does the marsh and swamp habitat have hot temperatures?? Yes, it can survive in the marsh and swamp habitat since it is a very hot and humid climate
Does the marsh and swamp habitat have rocky soil?Yes, even though the ground is soft, the mountain laurel would still get the water it needs to survive.
Does the marsh and swamp habitat have a rainy climate? No, the mountain laurel could not survive since the marsh and swamp habitat never gets rain.

Bob went on a trip with his family to learn more about plants in Georgia. He took a picture of an interesting plant that he found. He told his friends to ask questions about the plant’s features that would help them identify which plant it is and how its features help it survive.
