Carnivores in the Classroom Lesson Plans

Resources created by previous Carnivores in the Classroom grant recipients

We hope you utilize these resources and make them your own. Teachers know their students the best. That is why we have left the documents as editable PowerPoint and Word documents. We encourage you to edit them, add your own name, and share the wonderful world of carnivorous plants with your students.
