About Plants and Trees Quiz
The maple leaf on Canada’s flag comes from a tree that also gives us maple syrup, and the maple became Canada’s official national tree in 1996. The Plants and Trees Quiz covers how plants make food from sunlight, how seeds travel and flowers attract pollinators, the parts of a plant, trees of the world and the provincial trees and flowers of Canada. Some questions are about plants we eat or use every day. The facts were checked against reliable sources, and a few popular stories that turned out to be wrong were corrected or removed.

Tips & strategy
- Photosynthesis is the key idea: plants use light, water and carbon dioxide to make sugar and give off oxygen.

- Provincial emblems are asked in reverse, from the plant to the province, so connect each flower or tree to its landscape.
