For parents and teachers

For learners who can read short sentences and name the root, stem, leaf and flower of a plant. In many schools this fits children of about 8 to 10, and older learners can use it too. Activities use beans or other seeds, cups, water, paper and plants found near home. Some tests take a week or two. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it.
