Hi! We're team ShearFun 71330 and we made this website all about the plants and animals in Missouri. It's our 2026-2027 FLL project! We wanted to make a place where people can learn about what's growing and living in our state, and why it's important to take care of it. Click around and check out the different pages!
So there are these plants and animals that come from somewhere else and they just... take over everything. Like kudzu and Japanese knotweed. They're not from Missouri and they push out the stuff that IS from Missouri. It's actually pretty annoying. We made a whole page about it.
This page is about the animals and plants in Missouri that are really close to disappearing. Like we're sorry. We didn't do a great job protecting them. This page tells you what they are and what we can do to help them stick around.
Our FLL challenge for this season (Bio Glow) is about the environment and taking care of nature. Bio Library is the 2026 team project, an online website created to provide the community with information about preserving Missouri's biodiversity. The website helps people learn about Missouri's plants, animals, ecosystems, and the importance of protecting the state's natural environment.
Our mentor Steve helped us figure out the website stuff. We did the writing and the ideas. It took a while but we think it turned out pretty cool.
Here's some cool places we got our info from, and where you can learn more:
Where we got most of our plant and animal info from. Super helpful.
