Botany Curriculum Supplement: Great Science Adventures

Enrich your child’s botany study with Great Science Adventures. Organized around 24 lessons, each with a mini-book project, lab activity, and graphic organizer project, students will explore types of plants and how they reproduce; what roots, stems, leaves, and flowers are and what they do; what tree rings tell us; botanical terms for plants; and more. Lessons are written to the teacher and feature primary concepts to teach, vocabulary words, a note on which mini-book to make & read, lab activities, graphic organizer instructions, and "Experience, Investigations, and Research" enrichment/extension projects. Clear directions with step-by-step, leveled instructions, pictures, and helpful information make presenting lessons easy once the pre-lesson preparation is completed. A final cumulative project completes the course.

This flexible book is designed to be used as a multilevel resource or as a curriculum guide for a single student. Within the lessons for the teacher, pencil icons denote beginning (K-1st Grade), Primary (Grades 2 & 3) and Intermediate (Grades 4-8) levels. Lessons take 1-3 days to complete. Pages are not perforated. 143 pages plus reproducible section; softcover and non-consumable if pages are reproduced. Grades K-8.

    Wild + Free Nature

    Wild and Free Nature is a beautiful, four-color resource book for parents, educators, and caregivers to enjoy doing hands-on activities outside with kids. One of the core philosophies behind Wild + Free is the belief that nature is the best classroom we could ever hope for. It unlocks the imagination and inspires creativity in ways that a schoolroom never could.

    Being out in nature has a number of benefits. Studies show that children are more likely to interact with kids of different ages and learn to problem solve in natural settings. Being in natural settings stimulates the brain and restores cognitive function. Children who spend time in natural settings also interact better with kids of all ages and learn to solve problems more easily. They build muscle and coordination and fend off obesity. It cultivates a sense of responsibility for caring for the earth, not to mention, encourages imaginative play, curiosity, and other qualities necessary to spark a love for investigation and learning.

    This resource book will help equip parents and adults who work with children to get them outdoors with activities such as:

    • Build a treehouse in the woods.
    • Cultivate a garden plot.
    • Make land art and nature crafts.
    • Create a mud kitchen in the backyard.
    • Go for a nature walk each morning.
    • Find a secret swimming hole.
    • Go to the creek to learn about the water cycle.
    • Plant a garden to see what will grow in your backyard.
    • Raise monarch caterpillars and feed them milkweed until they transform into butterflies.
    • Set up a birdwatching station in your front window equipped with binoculars, notebooks, and bird guides.
    • Make a wilderness fort with the fallen branches from trees.

    With the same lush photography as the sold-separately The Call of the Wild + Free, this book includes step-by-step pictures that show parents how to do the activity, and essays on the importance of nature in a child's life. 128 pages, softcover.
