We have a plant table in our classroom where we can do Botany.

A parent of one of our classmates, Dr. Fuerst, helped us do our Botany. He helped us plant many plants.

Dr. Fuerst helped us study and plant cactus plants.

Here is a picture of the cactus plants we put in pots. Each classmate had a plant.

Here is a close-up of a young cactus plant.

Dr. Fuerst helped us plant marigolds. Here are all the marigold pots planted by the class.

We kept garden journals. We recorded our observations of the changes in the bean plants when they were just seeds and when they were young plants. Here are two pages of our journals. Bean seed observations. Bean plant observations.

In our botany lessons, we studied pussy willow trees. Here is a picture of classmates making observations of the pussy willow buds.

 

We used hand lens to look closely at the pussy willow buds.

Here is a close-up picture of the pussy willow bud.

 

In our Botany lessons we studied Snow Drop plants. They grow from bulbs in the early Spring. Here is a picture of a snow drop flower we had in our classroom.

We did sketches of the snow drop plant.

Then we made paintings of the snow drop plant.

Here is a snow drop painting.
