Botony recs?

Favorite k/1st Botony resource, go!

 

 

So far in our school career we've used the Useborn animal encyclopedia with some of the animal section of REAL science odyssey for zoology. It took us almost 9 months because we did huge segues into deep ocean animals and classification. Then we did the DK how the universe works book with the little professors astronomy kit over the summer for Astronomy. And right now we are using the Useborn book of the human body with chosen Pinterest projects and labs.

 

Botony is coming up for us this late winter/early spring but I'm having a hard time finding any good spines. Apologia makes a Botony curricula I might break down and get but I generally hate apologias...well apologetics :). I might be safe with Botony? But I'd rather not risk it. Our real science odyssey book has a small Botony section, but by small I mean 4-6 weeks worth. We want a good 5-6 months.

 

Ideally I'd like some sort of curricula or kit, because my boys like projects and finding them all individually is a lot of work. I'm doing it for anatomy but I'd rather have some to most planned for me and only have to search around to go deeper. But more important than the projects is being lit. based, because that gets done where projects sometimes won't :)

 

Thanks hive!

There's an OOP book we really loved called Grocery Store Botany that was perfect for this age (and a little older).

 

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0689304358/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=r_soa_w_d

 

My favorite book series for botony is one called, IIRC, the lives of trees? It's by Barbara Bash. Really good books.

 

But neither of those is a kit, so...

Good books are always appreciated :). And that grocery store book is promising. I don't need a kit (though I'm open to one) as much as a list of projects.
