Identify a non-flowering plant in your area. Get permission before taking a small sample. Press and display it as you did for the flowering plant. Label some of the differences between the non-flowering plant and the flowering plant.

A common non-flowering plant is a fern. Ferns are found in many environments, often in damp, shaded areas.

The most significant difference is that flowering plants reproduce using flowers, which contain the reproductive organs and produce seeds enclosed within fruits. Non-flowering plants like ferns do not produce flowers; instead, they reproduce using spores, typically found on the underside of their leaves (fronds).

Flowering plants produce seeds that are protected within a fruit. Non-flowering plants like ferns do not produce seeds or fruits. Their spores are released directly into the environment to grow into new plants.
