ummtafari Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I am getting ready to put together a botany study with a first, second, and fifth grader. I would greatly appreciate you posting your favorite books, online, and kit resources. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 All of the Shoot and Sprout, Buzz and Bite program!! The E-guide is beautiful and very informative. The 5th grader could benefit from the websites sited. I really, really like the God's Design book too. There are activities for every lesson and a section for "taking it further" with additional questions, study/research for an older student.
