This book explores the fascinating world of biology - the study of all life, from tiny bacteria to plants, animals and entire ecosystems. Discover how living things behave and interact, and the amazing ways they adapt to the world around them. Find out how life on Earth began, how it has changed, and what living things might look like in millennia to come. Take a closer look at cells - the building blocks of life itself - and the vital role they play.

Learn the plant life cycle the Montessori way!Based on the proven Montessori teaching method, Montessori: Seed Work introduces young readers to the plant life cycle, starting with seeds before moving on to each phase as the plant grows. Elements on each page are textured for greater interactivity, and the book has two fun gatefolds-one that flips down to reveal a plant's roots, and another that folds out to show a sunflower following the sun.Written by Bobby George, cofounder of the Baan Dek Montessori, the Montessori series introduces young readers to key concepts by beginning with the concrete and moving to the abstract. With each book, young readers absorb age-appropriate information and gain a better understanding of the world around them.
