Can one seed make a difference? Women in Botany introduces kids to
the field of botany through the questions of a spunky girl whose
inquiries guide an engaging, scientifically accurate conversation.
Readers will experience the dazzling world of plants and learn
about timeless women botanists who have used tiny seeds to do huge
things, like create new medicines and feed their communities. The
highlighted women hail from all over the world, span from the 16th
Century to present day, and include Waheenee, Ynes Mexia, Dr.
Janaki Ammal, Elizabeth Coleman White, Loredana Marcello, and
Wangari Maathai. Designed to motivate girls to learn more about the
field of botany and see how one person's creativity and
determination can change the world, this book has been peer
reviewed by an extensive team of scientists, science educators, and
parents. Concepts covered include botanist, parts of a seed
(embryo, endosperm, seed coat), parts of a plant (roots, stem),
conditions for plant growth, photosynthesis, species, parts of
flowers (anther, stigma, pollen), The Linnaean System, hybrid
plants, and photosynthesis. Part of the riveting "Science Wide
Open" series, Women in Botany shows young readers how their own big
ideas can blossom.
