Getting Started with Our Botany: Plant Science and Field Studies Homeschool Course

Our lives rely heavily on plants, though we may not understand or appreciate them fully. In this Botany: Plant Science and Field Studies course, homeschool students learn about the parts and functions of plants–including leaves, roots, stems, fruits, and flowers. They examine various aspects of botany plant science, including the different methods of reproduction and growth within the plant world, along with methods of classifying plants. Students explore a variety of environments in which plants are found and learn about adaptations that allow plants to thrive in certain habitats through their own field study of plants.
