As I was researching the geranium plant with my MAT group, we made comparisons between the Wikipedia entry and those from the online Britannica website as well as the traditional bound encyclopedia. We found that the bound encyclopedia provided limited information based on scientific data and offered a black and white picture that didn’t convey the true essence of the flower.
In comparison, Wikipedia provided additional links with further, more specific information regarding the various types and uses of the flower, cultivation techniques, as well as its scientific information. This allows for further research on a particular topic regarding geraniums, which the bound edition did not offer.
