The Peregrine Falcon is an amazing bird! It can dive at speeds up to 261 miles per hour! Its current conservation status is endangered and the falcon is being reintroduced to the state of Missouri, through conservation work and reintroduction efforts.

These are just some of the questions my students explored in the Power of Plants contest, sponsored by Missouri Botanical Gardens.
Students had the choice of creating a physical or digital entry. Below are links to the digital entries from my students. (Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the physical entries before taking them to the Gardens - but they were all really great!)
