Name of Course – Botany
Learning Facilitator: JoJo
Course Description: The goal of the botany enrichment is to expose students to a specific branch of biology and scientific thinking and increase their knowledge about plants and the critical role they play on Earth. Ideally the students walk away with a new appreciation and understanding of plants.
The students will become familiar with plant anatomy and the function of different plant parts. The class is structured around the plant cycle: We begin by studying dormant seeds and the function of the seed. We then explore the process of germination. Students then learn about the roots and the stem and their functions. We then study the leaf, with a focus on photosynthesis. Finally students explore the anatomy of the flower and plant.
In botany I learned about plant and how do plant work and why it important to living thing on earth. In the class I have a lot of question that I wonder when I learn science most of the time I have more question to help myself to understand. When I learned in botany we had experiment with plants for a compile time before we started the experiment first we had some question like what happen if we put the plant in some where that don’t have wind or light what going to happen. After 3 to 4 day we come to check out experiment and we saw the plant is growing but the leaves is yellow. I thought that went the plant get the sunlight it will have green but when it don’t have sunlight it yellow and it will die. The plant need the soil to grow because the soil have a lot of nutrient and it help the plant to grow taller.
when we grow it on the paper it still grow but growing slowly. I still wanted to know why when the plant have sunlight it green. When I learn in Ecology and Zoology I don’t know why but when I learn in botany I knew that in the leaf of the plant it have a special cell that call Chlorophyll.
