Plant-ology
Series of 12 titles
Plants. They give us oxygen, provide us with food, and fill our world with color. Plants can also trick animals into becoming their food, and when necessary, some plants can defend themselves with deadly results! This series takes a fresh look at the plant kingdom, focusing on the science behind plants and giving children the opportunity to learn about pollination, seed dispersal, photosynthesis, plant bodies, and plant defense mechanisms. Every book in the series is expertly crafted to meet early elementary and science curriculum standards. Innovative, grade-appropriate activities and experiments, critical-thinking questions, and fascinating fact boxes will keep the pages turning and the pace lively and interactive.

Reviews
Plant-ology
Whether dealing with photosynthesis or introducing unusual examples of meat-eating species, these volumes are strong introductions for early elementary learners. Clearly labeled photos reinforce information presented in adjacent text. Related questions encourage readers to make predictions or offer opinions about matters such as what type of weather might help scatter seeds. Small inset maps identify areas where many of the unusual plants (e.g., rafflesia plants with their giant flowers) can be found. Each book includes instructions for simple activities or experiments, including comparing growth in different types of soil and making a model of a cactus. Report writers will appreciate this series.
