1. Do some research into thornless varieties of plants.
a. What plants are available which do not have thorns?
b. Is thornlessness a mutation?
c. When and where was the possibility of growing thornless varieties of plants discovered?
d. How do these varieties compare with the variety that has thorns?
e. Consult seed catalogs, gardening books, and magazines in the library.
2. Do some research into the new variety of pumpkins that do not have hulls on their seeds.
a. Is the flavor of the new variety as good as the flavor of the older varieties, or is the new variety raised only to have seeds without hulls?
b. How are the seeds prepared?
c. Is the pumpkin seed a good source of protein?
d. Consult seed catalogs, gardening books, and gardening magazines.
3. Study the potato famine in Ireland.
a. Study how the use of some modern types of potatoes can help to overcome such famines.
b. Give some examples of potatoes which are hardy against disease.
c. Study the careful breeding experiments that resulted in disease resistant potatoes.
4. Do some research to find out about the new breeds of cattle that provide much better beef than the older breeds.
a. Consult a genetics book from the library to determine the names of such cattle.
5. You may want to investigate some of the diseases which are inherited.
a. Consult a genetics textbook from the library.
b. You may also need to look up some of these in a medical textbook or the Journal of Heredity.
