. I grow in warm climates world-wide.

My flower changes color within a day

from white to yellow to pink and, finally

to dark red or purple. Then I produce

a round boll which has soft whitefibers inside. The fibers have been

made into cloth by cultures around the

world since 5000 B.C. Every person in

your class is probably wearing

something made from me. Do you know

me?

There are a lot of us in Washington.

Our straight trunks make valuable

lumber. We stay green all year

because our special needle leaves have

a chemical that keeps them from

freezing. We can also live in cold

places where other trees would die.Which one am I?.

My ancestors were huge! During the

Devonian Period, their dead bodies made

much of the coal that you burn for fuel. We

are easy to spot because we look like a tailthat is made in sections. Our roughness is

handy for scrubbing dirty dishes, and some

people eat us and use us for medicine. Other

people think Im a weed because I grow

where they dont want me to. What is my

name?

My kind can be found on everycontinent except Antarctica. I neverdrink water; I absorb it through myskin. For part of my life, I breathe

with gills and live in the water. As anadult, I live on land. Pollution hasgotten so bad in many places, my

kind is being born with an extra legor other strange malformations.That may be good news for the

people who like to eat my legs: it isbad news for everyone else.
