Seedless Vascular Plants, Nonvascular Plants & Nature Journaling

Such joy to finish a great summer of Botany and nature study!

Lessons 1-5: Botany, Seeds, Flowers, Pollination & Fruits
Lessons 6-10: Leaves, Roots, Stems, Trees & Gymnosperms

Here's how we finished up Exploring Creation with Botany with the final lessons 11-13 on Seedless Vascular Plants, Nonvascular Plants & Nature Journaling.

Seedless Vascular Plants


Check out the sporangium! 


We were so happy to bring our book learning to life and find ferns growing in a small stream on a nature walk this past week.

Nonvascular Plants

Lichen growing on a tree. 

Liverworts? 


The fish settling ponds full of moss inspired us to row a book next - a simple row with a few books, a movie, good food, and hopefully a fishing trip!

  2. You Botany study has looked like so much outdoor fun! I almost went with this after seeing your posts, but decided to go with Chemistry and tie it in with oldest daughter M. Bo is so cute standing there and drawing in his journal!
