Step into a world of wonder with the first Botany Unit! Students will embark on an adventure of artistic and scientific exploration as they create their own Botany Book filled with sketches, poetry, and scientific inquiries. This unit emphasizes sensory exploration, fostering a deep and meaningful connection to the plant world as it relates to your child's experiences. Children will venture on a learning journey that demonstrates how the plant world follows a similar developmental path to humans, with stages like "babies," "toddlers," and "school-age children" influenced by the wisdom they receive from the sun. 

This unit includes a digital month-long curriculum with 15 lesson plans and 5 flexible projects. It will inspire you with beautiful images and clear instructions.

​And that's not all. You will also gain access to our members-only area, which includes supporting documents, videos, resources, and community.

The Wonder of Botany 1

​
​Learning Standards


Language Arts

Concept: Using language in creative and playful ways helps us understand how language works. 
Connection: Through the creation of their Botany Book, students engage with rich, descriptive language and poetic forms. They will write descriptive paragraphs and poems inspired by their observations of the plant world, enhancing their ability to express ideas creatively. This artistic approach deepens their understanding of language and its potential to convey complex ideas and emotions, fostering a love for creative writing.

Math

Concept:  Computational fluency and flexibility with numbers extend to operations with larger (multi-digit) numbers. 
Connection: The unit provides daily practice prompts for previously learned math concepts in your math workbook. Math is also integrated into the scientific exploration of botany. For example, students might measure plant growth over time, requiring them to perform calculations with multi-digit numbers. This application of math in a real-world context helps solidify their computational skills and illustrates the importance of math in scientific inquiry.
​
Science

Concept: Multicellular organisms rely on internal systems to survive, reproduce, and interact with their environment. 
​Connection: Students will learn about various plant responses to environmental factors, conducting experiments to observe these phenomena firsthand. They will analyze the data they collect, developing an understanding of how plants survive and thrive. This scientific inquiry reinforces concepts about life systems and encourages critical thinking as students formulate hypotheses, conduct experiments, and draw conclusions based on their findings.
