Field Trip to Boerner Botanical Gardens

From the first day of school, the students have been learning about plants, plant parts, and seeds. To accompany these topics, the students will be going on a series of four field trips to the Boerner Botanical Gardens. Each of these trips will be about plants, but each will focus on a different aspect. Today the third grades went on the first trip of the series and learned about seeds, their similarities and differences, and why
they are important. We then took a garden walk where we learned about various plants and examined how one plant's seeds are different from another.

A great deal of time was spent on the importance of seed dispersal and the various ways plants accomplish this. As your child to explain this to you.
