For hands-on activities involving parts of a plant, trees, flowers, and seeds that connect science with real life, choose Plants. This book, designed with good science and easy teaching in mind, covers these concepts:
a plant is a living thing
plants have many parts
each part of a plant has a special function
the fruit of a flowering plant contains seeds
seeds contain new plants
seeds travel in many ways
plants change as they grow
plants need food, water, and light to grow
people need plants for food and oxygen
not all plants reproduce from seeds made by flowers

Activities help children practice skills in: observation, analysis, communication, making comparisons, prediction, critical thinking, and recording. Areas of study address major themes such as: change, structure, function, cycles, diversity, and cause and effect.

Samples of the hands-on learning experiences:
conduct experiments and record results to find out what plants need to grow
look inside a seed and then make an "Inside a Seed" book
plant bean seeds in a growing bag and keep a growth log
experiment to prove that plants give off oxygen

Contains many reproducible, ready-to-go resources, such as record sheets, logbook forms, minibooks, and picture cards. Illustrated throughout with fun, yet accurate line art. All 80 pages perforated for easy removal.
