Botany Experimental Greenhouse Science Kit

Have your kids put on some overalls and prepare for some farming fun. The Little Labs Botany Greenhouse Kit teaches the basics of botany with bean, cress, and zinnia flower seeds, but children can apply the principles they learn to any kind of plant seeds. Children will learn why grass doesn't die when cut, see sweaty leaves, collect seeds with socks, and grow a silly head out of grass. Planting seeds will give children first-hand knowledge of germination, and when they create their automatic plant watering device, they will see how the roots drink water and distribute it to the rest of the plant. As the garden starts to grow and flowers begin to bloom, children can post signs indicating what each plant is and even make bugs out of plaster to decorate their blossoming landscape.

Teachers can also use this botany kit for kids to develop ideas for lesson plans on botany that will teach children how to plant seeds and care for growing plants. Easy to follow, step by step instructions are colorfully illustrated and feature silly eggplant, carrot, and red pepper narrators. Two greenhouse domes help ensure the proper temperature and humidity for the plants while also offering ventilation to provide the optimal growing conditions. The Little Labs Botany Kit lets children exercise their minds using experiments with light, water, and heat to see how they affect plant growth, which they can then use for future science fair ideas. All of the activities can be used in the classroom and at home while incorporating hands-on learning and letting kids have fun getting dirty.
