Description
In this super-fun lesson, kids are going outside to explore the schoolyard! They will look for all sorts of amazing plants, also called flora. They will use a special tablet to help us learn their names and then draw pictures of them. They will also dig a little to see the soil and learn why it's so important for plants to grow big and strong. And guess what? They’ll even look for little animals like ants or butterflies, also called fauna, that live near the plants, because everything in nature works together! They'll also hear cool stories about how people used plants a long, long time ago. This exciting adventure will help them love nature and see how plants help our Earth every single day!
