This unit includes lessons that allow students to dive into the world of botany. Botany (the study of plants) is a great way for students to view the natural world around them by giving them useful tools needed to understand how plants are identified. In each hands-on activity, students will learn the names and distinguishing characteristics of many common plants found in the Pacific Northwest, so the next time they are exploring the outdoors they can share their expert knowledge with their friends and families.
