Poisonous Plants Quiz
Being able to identify hazardous plants will help all Scouts who are in the outdoors. Try this quiz. First you are shown a picture of the plant and given some possible choices about what type of plant it might be. After you submit your answer, you can see if you were right or wrong. It also tells you the typical habitat for the plant, what parts of the US it can be found in, what types of reaction it causes, and identifying characteristics. At the end of the quiz it tells you how many you correctly identified.
