Standards: CCSS.MATH 8.EE.A.2, TEKS.MATH 8.2B, BEST MA.8.NSO.1.2
Botanist Dr. Stomata has been revolutionizing agriculture for decades, making his ‘smart’ plants that are able to adapt more effectively to Earth’s ever-changing environment. All of his experiments have been successful, until now. He has accidentally created a mutant plant that is taking over the jungles near his lab. These plants invade other species of flora and drain nutrients needed for growth. We need your help to find Dr. Stomata’s lab, create an organic herbicide and use it on the mutant flora before it leaves the jungle!
