![]() Hi! I am Heather from Lessons from Home where you will find encouragement for your homeschooling and parenting journey. Other Apologia reviews you may find helpful are “Homeschool Science Anatomy Review” and “My Favorite Homeschool Science Curriculum” My 11 year old works through the notebook independently and enjoys the variety of activities.Īs you can see, there are multiple ways to use this Apologia Botany curriculum and it is easy to adapt to your family’s learning and lifestyle. ![]() ![]() The older one includes lapbooks, crossword puzzles, diagrams, and copywork. The younger one includes coloring pages, copywork and simple activities. They come in two levels, so you can teach multiple grades together. The notebooks are optional, but make teaching so much easier. My preschooler also listens and enjoys looking at the pictures and participating in the experiments. I read the text aloud to my second and sixth graders and that works very well for us. This text is probably written for kids reading at a fourth grade level or higher. Here are a few examples of the fun activities in this book to give you an idea of how hands-on this is. If you live in a northern climate, you might consider going through this book during the spring and summer months as many of the activities require, you guessed it, plants! It worked wonderfully and we all enjoyed watching the little plants emerge while it was still frigid outside. The text gives instructions for growing herbs and making soap out of them, but we used it to begin our garden plants. My 7 year old has been most excited about the light hut we made to germinate our seeds. My 4 year old planted corn seeds in a plastic cup and was delighted to see the plant emerge as well as watch the roots below the dirt. The text provided step by step instruction for removing the sepals, petals, stamen etc. My 11 year old’s favorite activity in the book so far has been dissecting a flower.
