I have added over 25 new pages to the Botany Unit! These new pages are all about the Plant Kingdom. We went over plant classification and learned about the life cycles of mosses, ferns, gymnosperms (conifers & cycads), and angiosperms (flowering plants).
The Plant Kingdom Worksheets
The first set of worksheets goes over the basics about each of the four groups of the Plant Kingdom and some terms like vascular and non-vascular, xylem and phloem, haploid and diploid.
We reviewed what plants need to survive and basics about the four groups of plants: 1) bryophytes: moss and liverworts 2) ferns & lycophytes 3) gymnosperms: conifers, cycads 4) angiosperms: flowering plants
NOTE: If you are interested in going into more depth about Scientific Classification & Taxonomy, you might check out our packet below or this post. It was in that unit that we went into depth about using a dichotomous key and learned about the animal phyla. This is available on its own or in our Biology BUNDLE of 3.
Moss Life Cycle Worksheets
We then went over the life cycle of mosses and liverworts. There are several options to choose from, depending on the age of your kids/students. There is a page with a basic diagram, one for note-taking, a fill-in-the-blank option or one with full notes.
Fern Life Cycle Worksheets
This packet covers the life cycle of ferns:
Conifer Life Cycle Worksheets
We went over the life cycle of gymnosperms – conifers. Like the other sets, this one has full teacher notes as well is different options for the students to take notes (a more simplistic version for younger students, a fill-in-the-blank page or a note-taking page).

Angiosperm Worksheets – Parts of a Flower, Parts of a Seed
From there, we went on to talk about angiosperms – the flowering plants. We talked about the two types of angiosperms – monocots and dicots.
Monocots or Dicots Activity:
Carnivorous Plant Worksheets & Booklet
As many of you know, this packet also contains a mini-unit on carnivorous plants.

You might also be interested in our Biology BUNDLE. That includes our Scientific Classification & Taxonomy Unit from when we studied Domains, Kingdoms, Phylums… and went into detail about the animal groups. See details below!
You might also be interested in our Cells Unit:
If you are interested in going into even more detail about plants, they you might be interested in our Cell Unit. It goes into quite some depth about animal vs. plant cells. This past fall, my kids also spent time learning about the layers of the leaf and did a leaf identification project which is also included in the cell unit.
$6.99 Cells Unit – cell theory, prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic cells, animal vs. plant cells, organelles of the cell, the layers of a leaf, photosynthesis and more. It even includes a “Build a Cell” Game! Quick Preview or visit the post or view image 1, image 2, image 3, image 4, image 5, image 6, image 7
