Tuesday JH (AM2A) – Study of Botany

ONE SEMESTER

This class teaches students about God’s incredible world of plants. Students will keep notebooks to encourage critical thinking, logical ordering, retention, and record keeping.  There will lots of  activities and projects to help make the lessons come alive! They will include making a “light hut” in which to grow plants, dissection of a bean seed, growing seeds in plastic bags to watch the germination process, making a leaf skeleton, observing how plants grow towards light, measuring transpiration, forcing bulbs to grow out of season, and forcing pine cones to open and close.  Students who take this class love showing their family and friends all they learn about planting and growing, and some even dream of being future botanists!
