Science

• The child learned about the different parts of a plant, such as the roots, stem, leaves, and flowers.
• They studied the process of photosynthesis and how plants create their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
• The child explored the life cycle of a plant, from seed germination to growth and reproduction.
• They also learned about different types of plants, such as flowering plants, non-flowering plants, and trees.

For continued development, the child can create a plant journal where they observe and document the growth of a plant over time. They can also conduct experiments to investigate how different factors, such as light and temperature, affect plant growth. Additionally, they can visit botanical gardens or plant nurseries to further explore and learn about different plant species.
