ABSTRACT
A classification system based on vegetative cover for inland wetlands is explained. Calcium oxalate crystals in a wetland plant,
Nymphaea odorata,
the fragrant waterlily, are investigated. The importance of inland wetlands and laws pertaining to them are explored. A curricula unit designed as a biological profile of an inland wetland using vegetative cover as a classification system is provided in this unit and a biological profile of a local inland wetland, Cedar Swamp, can be found on file at the Teacher’s Institute along with an accompanying slide show.
