Spring is the perfect time to do a unit study on plants because there are so many just starting to bud and everything is coming back to life. If you are a homeschooling parent, and you are looking for resources to teach your kiddos about how plants grow, parts of plants, and how to incorporate them into an entire unit study for all ages, here are some plant unit study resources to get you started!

The Got Dirt? Lesson Plan on Plant Parts from Wisconsin University cover many basic topics such as plant parts, flowers, and fruit and come with a great printable lesson guide.

This free printable for a Plant Lifecycle Notebook from 123 Homeschool 4 Me is great for many ages in the elementary levels.

I love any project that uses old things and makes them new, and this use of a clear CD case to grow a bean sprout from Two Busy Brunettes and label it is just genius!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
