The footnote references Flowering Plants in Our Changing Environment http://californiaeei.org/curriculum/unit?unitid=11, an EEI Curriculum unit containing instructional resources that allow students to explore the environmental factors that affect the ability of flowering plants to grow and reproduce. The leveled reader shows students how a familiar fruit from an historic California tree has been affected by environmental changes over its long life span. Students also discover how human-triggered changes to the environment can help or hurt the growth and development of flowering plants.

The EEI Curriculum consists of 40 science and 45 history-social science instructional units that were approved by the State Board of Education in 2010. Visit the EEI Home page http://californiaeei.org/ to learn more about the EEI Curriculum.
