Botanical Architecture & Plant Functionality

Science & Innovation

Your child can explain the exact scientific functions of a plant's roots, stem, leaves, and flowers, including early concepts of pollination and photosynthesis.

In real life

Watching a bee move between flowers, your child notices yellow dust on its legs and asks, "Is it carrying pollen to the next flower so that one can make seeds?"
