Book 35: Is This a Plant?: Introducing the Plant Kingdom

Levels: 1-2
Contextual strands: Living world icon. Living world

Synopsis

Most young children are familiar with a variety of plants, and you can build on their experiences to help them understand ideas about plant groups. In some cases, however, this familiarity can lead to confusion over what is a plant and what is not. This book and Is This an Animal? , Book 39, are designed to address children's ideas about living things and to provide building blocks for understanding classification patterns for groupings of plants and animals.
