New! Exploring Creation with Botany 2nd Edition

Introduce your young naturalists to plants with the Apologia Botany curriculum!

Apologia's Exploring Creation with Botany 2nd Edition Student Text has been updated with 14 lessons, new and redesigned activities, and a new course schedule. This Charlotte-Mason style course uses a notebooking journal (sold-separately) to have students explain in their own words what they're learning. . . which also helps with memory retention! In addition to the written notes, mini-book (lap-style) activities, and vocabulary building exercises in the Notebooking Journals, students will also create their own Nature Journal to take with them as they go outside to explore, study, and document the wonderful world of plants and fungi.

In this text, students will learn about seeds, pollination, fruits, leaves, roots, taxonomy, and stems, and most importantly, why botany matters. Plus, students will build and use their own light hut to help them study the life cycle of different types of plants throughout the year! Each chapter features bright, full-color photography with bold headings and easy-to-follow instructions for hands-on activities.

Grades K-6. Hardcover.
