Description
Plants are all around us, pointing to the heavens in more ways than one! Exploring Creation with Botany, the award-winning homeschool elementary science curriculum from Apologia, presents a scientifically sound and God-honoring study of botany for children grades K through 6.
Content covered includes 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. Narration and notebooking encourage critical thinking, logical ordering, retention, and record keeping.
