Module 9: How Does Your Garden Grow?, Grade 2, version 02 (Print)

Welcome to the wonderful world of plants! This final module introduces your child to the study of soil and plants. Through many hands-on activities, your child will learn about the parts of a plant, needs of plants, and the uses of plants. He or she will find out what soil is made of, compare soil samples, and what creatures live in the soil along with plants. He or she will find plant information on the Internet and use e-mail to transmit information. Your child may even be able to watch his or her garden grow.
