Exploring Creation with Botany textbook, 2nd Edition, is a homeschool science curriculum for elementary students. As your student works through an overview of botany and dives deeper into plant anatomy and classification, your student will walk away with a foundational and working knowledge of plants. Each lesson is written in a conversational tone, and created using vivid graphics, engaging lessons and hands-on projects that will make learning about botany fun!

Newly revised, this updated edition of Botany offers expanded content and activities. If you are familiar with the 1st edition, the first thing you will notice about the updated edition is the improved layout and graphics. Opening the textbook, the vibrant illustrations and updated hands-on activities formatting are eye catching. Most of the lesson content has been rewritten, giving the text a less casual or chatty feel, while remaining clear and understandable for children. The new edition offers 14 chapters covering an introduction to botany, seeds, flowers, pollination, fruits, leaves, as well as the roots and stems of plants. Children also learn about food production, with one lesson dedicated to teaching children about gardening, including how to build a raised garden. Additionally, the new edition introduces mycology (the study of fungi). Hands-on activities remain essential to the course. There is also a greater focus in this new edition on creating a Charlotte Mason inspired nature journal. Textbook contains 14 lessons, the activity supply list, and an answer key. 237 pgs, hc.
