Editor's Notes
On this slide there are hyperlinks to a diagram of the internal structure of a root. Once you have discussed a layer, use the hyperlink to go directly to the diagram to illustrate the layer. Then use the hyperlink next to the label to return to the note slide.
This slide contains hyperlinks to move back and forth between the notes slide and this diagram. Use the return links to move back to the description of that layer. Once you have discussed each layer and advance to this slide, the labels will be missing. You can then quiz the students on what they have just learned. For review, the order of the terms is: cortex, endodermis, pericycle, vascular cylinder, xylem and phloem.
