Exploring Creation with Botany makes studying nature and plants fun and exciting. Exploring Creation with Botany was one of the first books in the Young Explorer Series.
Description of Exploring Creation with Botany (from Apologia website):
In this award-winning homeschool elementary science curriculum, Exploring Creation with Botany presents a scientifically sound and God-honoring study of botany for grades K-6. Content covered includes the nature of botany and the process of classifying plants. It then discusses the development of plants from seeds, the reproduction processes in plants, the way plants make their food, and how plants get their water and nutrients and distribute them throughout the body of the plant. –
