THE MISSION:
An evil weevil (Metamasius callizona) has spread across south Florida, and along the way, has been eating up Florida's native bromeliads! The weevil must be brought under control; and to do that, we need to know what the weevil and the bromeliads are doing, out in the real world.
|
So your mission is to go to Myakka River State Park and locate a tree with bromeliads. You are to observe these bromeliads throughout your third grade school year. Watch for the weevil! Look for signs of weevil attack on your bromeliad; look on the ground around your tree for fallen bromeliads, and search them for weevils! Maintain a sharp eye, and take good notes on all of your observations.
