This botany course is designed for students in grades 4–7 and helps students understand how plants grow, reproduce, and interact with the environment while developing curiosity and scientific thinking.

Young Scientist Botany invites students to explore the fascinating world of plants and discover how plants grow, reproduce, and interact with their environment. Through engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and experiments, students develop a foundational understanding of plant life while gaining an appreciation for the complexity and beauty of God’s creation.

Students will study topics such as seeds, flowers, pollination, fruits, leaves, roots, stems, trees, gymnosperms, and both vascular and nonvascular plants. Throughout the course, students complete projects and experiments that reinforce what they learn while developing important scientific skills.

My son loved taking Young Scientist Botany with Mrs. Baer. He was so inspired by the class that we cultivated our very first vegetable garden using many of the projects from the course. I highly recommend her classes.

Testimonials

Mrs. Baer is an absolute treasure! Down-to-earth, always smiling, and she just “has a way” with the high school age group. Her before-class prayers were heartfelt. Thankful my son was part of her class.

This was my daughter’s first introduction to MyFunScience and it set the bar high. Mrs. Baer is one of the sweetest teachers I’ve ever seen interact with kids—even online. She has a gift for making each student feel heard and valued. Her heart for God is evident in everything she does, and she is an organized, engaging instructor with excellent command of the material. I have no hesitation recommending this class.

All of my six children have had the pleasure of being Mrs. Baer’s students. The quality of her classes is excellent based on the content and structure of her classes, guided notes, age appropriate experiments, and Biblical references. She is very gifted in her ability to engage her students, regardless of age.

My children have thrived in Mrs. Baer’s classes! Mrs. Baer is so fun and engaging, and it’s obvious she cares for each individual child. I love that everything is so well organized and easy to find online.

Two of my children have taken classes with Mrs. Baer. They both have thoroughly enjoyed all of them! In fact, even my non-STEM student has asked to take every class she offers! High praise. Thank you, Mrs. Baer!

Mama Baer is one of the best teachers I have ever had! She is so amazing and flexible and she really cares for her students! The guided notes really help me stay focused and highlight the most important information we discuss in class.
