Welcome to our Montessori Science Botany class for Grades 1-3! We immerse young learners in the fascinating world of plants, encouraging them to explore and appreciate the intricacies of the plant kingdom. Through hands-on activities and interactive lessons, students gain a solid understanding of plant biology and their importance in our environment.

We are proud to be the first and only accredited Montessori school on the Outschool platform, featuring certified teachers who bring their expertise from our brick-and-mortar school located in Ontario, Canada.

In this class, students will dive into the study of botany, focusing on the various aspects of plant life. They will learn about the different parts of plants, such as leaves, stems, roots, and seeds, and how these components work together to support plant growth and reproduction. The class will also cover plant adaptations, the role of plants in our diet, and the basics of gardening.


Topics Covered

Plant Kingdom: Students will explore the diverse world of plants, learning about different plant types and their roles in ecosystems. They will gain an understanding of how plants contribute to the environment and the importance of conserving plant life.

Parts of Plants: Detailed lessons will cover the structure and functions of plant parts, including leaves, stems, roots, and seeds. Students will engage in experiments to observe how these parts contribute to a plant's physiological functions.

Plant Adaptations: The class will examine how plants adapt to their environments to survive and thrive. This includes studying various adaptations such as root systems, leaf structures, and water conservation strategies.

Plants We Eat: Students will learn about the plants that are part of our diet, including fruits, vegetables, and herbs. They will understand how these plants grow and their nutritional value.

Gardening: Hands-on gardening activities will allow students to plant seeds, care for their plants, and observe the growth process. They will learn about the conditions plants need to grow and how to create a suitable environment for them.

Class Structure

Each lesson will start with a brief lecture on the day's topic, providing students with a clear overview of what they will be exploring. The teacher will demonstrate the materials or worksheets needed for the activities, showing step-by-step how to complete each task. Students will then have the chance to work independently on their projects, while the teacher observes and provides real-time feedback. This approach ensures that students learn through practical experience, supported by guided instruction.

Our teaching style is fun, engaging, and productive. We aim to make learning about botany an exciting adventure, sparking curiosity and a love for plants. By creating an interactive and supportive learning environment, we encourage students to explore and ask questions.

Students will interact extensively with the teacher and their peers throughout the class. The small group setting promotes personalized attention and active participation. We use a variety of teaching methods, including interactive games, discussions, slides, and video clips, to make lessons dynamic and engaging.
