Plants are organisms that belong to the plant kingdom which comprises trees, bushes, shrubs, grasses, vines, mosses, ferns and green algae. Most of the plants grow on the ground, but many develop in the water as well. Plants lie at the basis of all food chains and are the most important component of the Earth's biosphere. Plants developed on land around 500 milion years ago. Today we know about 400 000 species of plants. Amazing, isn't it?
Studying the plants, their history and evolution, their parts, and the factors affecting their growth will give children a broad perspective about life sciences. They will learn about fossils and paleontology, about growing plants and taking care of them which will also enhance their naturalistic intelligence.
I firmly believe in the benefits of interactive learning, therefore we will use many educational videos and games to help us in plant studying.
