Finally, I compiled all our botany lessons in one post. It’s easier to make it as a reference in the future and to you dear readers as well! These are the activities we have done for the past years, when Mavi was still in preschool. I hope you find all of these helpful in your own homeschool journey. Just click any of the links below, to direct you to the specific post.
(In no specific order)
- Learning about flowers. This is THE FIRST TIME we dissected a flower and Mavi had a fabulous time learning about the parts!
- The Tree. Our FIRST LESSON ON TREES and comes with a DIY tree felt puzzle
- Parts of a plant. Mavi was only 2 years old here when we study the different parts of a plant using nomenclature cards. Was he bored? No!! He had fun looking for the different parts in grandma’s garden.
- Fruits and Vegetables Unit
- The Bean Seed. Identify the parts of a bean seed and observed how they sprout.
- The Plant. Mavi was attending Montessori preschool and brought home his plants. We review the parts of a plant using a real one at home.
- Looking into Trees and Leaves. We matched leaf shapes, create trees in different seasons and identify the parts of the leaf/tree.
- The Plant Life Cycle (Photosynthesis). We did a little experiment on how water travels through the plants.
- Tree Shapes. Yes! Trees have different form and shapes. We worked on this outdoors and identified the shapes of the trees in our yard. How fun!
- The Poinsettia. Seasonal lesson, especially during Christmas.
- Leaf Shapes. Montessori-inspired activities. We collected leaves in the park and matched our collection to the leaf shapes nomenclature card.
- Inside of a fruit. Making fruit prints!
- Life Cycle of an Apple. Lots of crafting!
- All about flowers [1] and [2]. We usually study flowers in springtime. Here we looked into the different parts by dissecting a flower, collected flowers in the yard and used it as a paint brush.. and more outdoor flower observation.
- Flower DIY foam puzzle.
- Parts of an apple and tomato. Yes, we dissected these!
