Our Trip to the Missouri Botanical Garden!


Today we visited the Missouri Botanical Garden to learn more about plants! We've been studying them in science. We started off with a class and reviewed food chains. We learned about those in our previous science unit - ecosystems!


























We made a "food chain" and "passed" down the energy!

























Then, we watched decomposition!

























We got to plant our own plants - basil!







It was soon time to explore the garden!

Sour Orange
Sweet Lemon
























Rosemary





Picking and smelling sage!

The beautiful Missouri Botanical Garden!





























Students were very excited about the Climatron!


Pitcher Plant

























Can you spot the gecko?

















Rice

Looking at the tadpoles!

Whose feet are those?


More carnivorous plants!










We had a fantastic time! Thank you parent helpers for joining us and making our trip a success!
