- Abstract
The article details a project related to mushrooms meant for students of the third grade. The students were looking for several varieties of mushroom including unusual color, a large or a very tiny mushroom or one with a different shape. They discovered that some of the mushrooms had gills and some had pores beneath their caps. The children became very anxious to know the names of mushrooms that has been discovered by them. In order to make their task easy, a large, colored picture chart of edible and poisonous mushrooms was posted on the bulletin board. In addition to it, they were given books with colored plates and pictures. A mushroom calendar was kept by children on which they entered data about mushroom beds discovered by them and watched each day in order to answer certain questions related to mushrooms. They made a set of picture mushroom charts with descriptive identifications for the most common mushrooms discovered by them.
