Today, we went to the park and chose several plants to identify. I brought along the book Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification.
We also used the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center website. It has a native plants database put together by University of Texas at Austin.
We were able to identify Texas Frogfruit: https://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=PHNO2
Also, a member of the Aster family, which I think was Symphotrichum sericeum. (I could be wrong)
The 10th Grader sketched the flowers in her biology notebook and labeled them.
