Synopsis

A practical guide to teaching plant life through observation and hands‑on study.

This two‑year course helps teachers spark curiosity about nature by combining science with art, drawing from real plants the class can study together.

The book frames a clear, classroom‑tested approach to nature study. It blends plant observation with practical activities, encouraging students to gather specimens, observe closely, and relate what they see to broader topics in science and daily life.

• Learn how to plan and run lessons on seeds, germination, and plant growth, using real specimens and careful observation.
• Combine science with art through drawing, brushwork, and simple design projects that reinforce understanding.
• Develop classroom questions and guided investigations that promote independent thinking instead of rote memorization.
• Explore how plants store food, germinate, and differ between inside and outside growers, with activities you can adapt to your setting.

Ideal for teachers seeking a structured, hands‑on approach to plant life and a toolkit that blends science and art for young learners.
