Description
A nature study aimed towards younger audiences, this book shows young and enquiring minds how the growth of plants takes place. Rather than having children dissect plant parts or just watch a seed grow, this book teaches the process of how plants grow from a seed to a mature plant, what the purpose of a plant is, and how plants reproduce. Children's minds are more interested with how things work and why they do what they do than just learning names and anatomy. Help nurture the curiosity of nature in a child's mind with the teachings and black-and-white illustrations in this book. 259 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of First Studies of Plant Life
A guide to discovery of the forces at work in the world of plants. Through germinating seeds and varying their growing conditions, students learn by observation the different ways seeds germinate and young plants respond to moisture and light. Further experiments shed light on the manner of nourishment, respiration, and reproduction. The reader is given plenty to ponder since the text often poses questions without supplying answers. The life stories of the sweet pea, oak, ferns, moss, and mushrooms and an account of some of the forces plants have to contend with in their struggle to survive encourage students to continue to read and interpret their surroundings. An engaging introduction to botany for middle school and beyond.
