Written in the Apologia conversational style, this hands-on and engaging botany course begins with a lesson on the nature of botany and the process of classifying plants. It then discusses the development of plants from seeds, the reproduction processes in plants, the way plants make their food, and how plants get their water and nutrients and distribute them throughout the body of the plant. As students study these topics, they also learn about many types of plants in creation and where they belong in the plant classification system.<\/p>\n When your family reads this science book you are studying important information discovered by great scientists throughout history. Keeping a student\u00a0Notebooking Journal<\/em>\u00a0helps your child to document studies in their own words. Additionally, participating in science activities builds upon that knowledge as your child conducts their own scientific studies. It is our prayer that at the end of the year your child will have gained a deeper appreciation for and understanding of the beauty of creation.<\/p>\n This title is part of the Young Explorer Series, authored by Jeannie Fulbright.\u00a0Click here to view a sample.<\/a><\/p>\n There are 14 lessons included in this one-year botany course.
