Botany Series

$15.00 – $92.00

Bring the tremendous diversity of the botanical world to your children with these beautiful 4-part card sets.  Used in isolation, they help children perceive order in the botanic world.  Used in concert with real specimens they can enhance children’s observation skills as they describe their specimen with the kind of technical vocabulary that elementary children love.  These card sets use the more current nomenclature system, which segregates the root as a separate system from the above ground shoot system. 
Information is distributed between 3 levels to provide structure for the tremendous amount of information that can be learned.

Scroll down for More Details about the type of information and number of concepts/cards at each level and to sneak a peek at the content.

Grow your botany cabinet over time, adding Levels II and III as children show readiness OR save 20% when you order the complete botany cabinet.

Level III: Ecology Enthusiasts completes the studies initiated with Beginning Botanists and Flora Fans, adding 30 additional card sets (total of 101 three-part cards) detailing the tremendous diversity expressed in each part of the shoot system. These advanced card sets provide not only source material for lessons but also resources for children to research specimens that they bring to class or observe in nature.  Card sets within a given part of the shoot system are organized such that the student can progress independently to levels of greater sophistication and finer detail if his interests so lead him.

These are a beautiful and informative cards. The definitions are clear, and help bring Botany to life! Children like finding real parts of plants to match up with the cards. It's fun to play matching games with the cards themselves too.       -Margit H.
