Primarily Plants is a nearly 200-page paperback workbook,
accompanied by a supplemental CD, which gives you all the pages
in PDF format so you can print pages easily. This is for Grades
K-3. It is a study on plants which incorporates hands-on experience
with seeds, growing cycles, etc. This program walks the child through
the process, and asks questions along the way to get them thinking.
There is even some whimsical poetry, combined with coloring pages
to make a little book, and opportunities to do a little math along
the way. However, the aspect which provides the most fun is all
the experiments, including planting, watching things grow, and
making observations about the changes.
This is a totally doable Science program for my first grader,
and I am enjoying the process of going through it with her. She
is very curious about everything, and this really explains everything
in a way that makes a great deal of sense to her. I highly recommend
this for homeschoolers who are in need of a good science program
for the lower grades.
This workbook is available on the company's website for $21.95,
which is a good price for something that you will use for a whole
semester.
