PLANT SET

Plants

Students get a chance to try out their "green thumbs" as they explore plants. Student notes suitable for an overhead projector explain much of the knowledge-based information contained in the unit. "Plant Discovery Worksheets" combine easy-to-do student experiments and related questions to help "cement in" concepts with "concrete" activities. Optional activities are left up to the discretion of each teacher and provide flexibility as well as enrichment. The world of plants comes alive with this practical teaching package.
