About This Product
This educational science resource guides students through the four developmental stages of the arrowhead root plant (Sagittaria / cigu / kuwai). Using clear, real-life photography, children observe the plant's transformation from a dormant aquatic tuber to a flowering mature plant while building scissor control and logical ordering skills on their researcher recording sheet.
