Home school program for grades 3-5, August 22, 12-1:30 pm

Cycles of Life - Biology in the Garden

Map the life cycles of plants, trees and insects in this hands-on program connecting the cycles of nature with life science in the garden. Students are challenged to sequence the stages of insect and plant cycles as well as identify the interdependence of plants and animals in a garden setting.

Students search for living and non-living components in an ecosystem and then observe plants and insects in different life stages.  

Fee: Members $8, Non-members $10 (includes all materials and supplies)

All of our new home school options align with curricula for K–2, 3–5, and 6-8. Each program uses the Garden’s 120 acres of developed and natural areas as a teaching classroom, while connecting to National Education Standards and the Alabama Course of Study.
