Description
This material is part of the Montessori Botany curriculum. Botany is the study of plant characteristics and biochemical processes. Plants play a significant role in the ecosystem. They contribute to the atmosphere, the soil, the oceans, and the food chain. Botany Nomenclature consists of 207 three-part cards and seven booklets. In primary level, the three-part cards introduce children to the parts of a plant: root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, and seed. The nomenclature cards contain a picture, a label, and a control for error cards with both picture and label for matching purposes. Descriptions can be found in the booklets to learn facts about the parts.
