We have been studying the parts of a seed in our botany and culture lessons.
We read a couple of books:
We read a couple of books:
From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons
and Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert (not affiliate links)
Matching seeds to packets.
I found the little boxes at Hobby Lobby.
I got the idea for this tray from Just Montessori.
We stuck beans in paper towels to watch them grow...which they didn't. So, we went outside and took a few sprouts from the field (this was about a month ago!).
We were able to see the little plan growing right out of the seed.
This is a corn seed.
We were also able to see this maple tree growing out of its seed, then use the leaves to identify that it was a maple tree.
Charger and Mustang put together seed booklets from Homeschool Share.
Everyone made parts of seed booklets.
Even Mini Cooper!
I used my copier to cut off the words so that Mustang could practice her handwriting.
I found these books at Montessori WorkJobs.
Charger, Mini Cooper, and I worked on three part cards, also FREE from Montessori Workjobs.
The parts of seed puzzle from Kid Advance was a nice addition-oops we have it backwards!
Overall it was a great unit! Thanks for stopping by to read our recap!
God Bless!!
