Homeschooling can put the pressure on to produce genius children. Beyond the desire for a excellent education comes a more important goal— connecting with God.
Botany Basics: Plant Systems
Plants are pretty amazing! If you have ever marveled at the beauty of a leaf, or wondered how a seed became a tree, then studying plants is a joy. This free pdf has a poster, study guide, science experiments, and a quiz all about plant systems! Photosynthesis is the plant process that uses sunlight to make food, transpiration is a cooling and water releasing process, and respiration is kind of like plant breathing, except they don’t have lungs to carry out the process.
If you live in the northern USA where the weather is already turning cold, you might want to do some experiments sooner rather than later… or perhaps a Christmas tree is the prime suspect for studying plant life! Whatever the case, I hope you enjoy this fun printable.

Botany Basics: Parts of a Flower
Flowers are such a beautiful area of study! They usually smell lovely, and they are designed to be gloriously beautiful. The flower’s petal serve to attract pollinators, who unknowingly enable plants to reproduce. As you learn the flower parts and their purpose, you can go outdoors, or even buy a bouquet, and see if you can identify the flower parts. Be forewarned, composite flowers such as dandelions, sunflowers and daisies are specially designed and may be very tricky to identify, as each petal is actually an individual flower, and their parts are sometimes labeled differently. Flowers like lilies, tulips, daffodils, and alstroemarias are great for dissection.
I’ve created a fun FREE PDF of visuals for identifying flower parts, and even a coloring page and assignment to solidify memorization. Get yours below. Enjoy discovering the marvelous beauty of flowers that make plant reproduction possible!
