Course Description: 
Botany is the scientific study of plants. In this introductory course, we will explore topics such as: what is botany, the life cycle of a plant, parts of a plant, how seeds work, what is photosynthesis, plant classification, poisonous plants, how roots work, and so much more! Students will leave this class with a good understanding of how different types of plants grow, live, and what their purpose is.
A variety of learning materials will be used throughout the year such as: in person learning, activity pages, science experiments, and videos to help facilitate learning.
I hope that this course will install a love of God's wonderful creation, alongside learning the foundations of how it grows!
