About This Product
This educational science resource guides students through the four developmental stages of the bamboo plant. Using clear, real-life photography, children observe the plant's transformation from an underground running rhizome to a conical edible shoot and a towering woody culm while building scissor control and logical ordering skills on their researcher recording sheet.

Topics Included in This Pack

• Rhizome: Initial subterranean foundation showing the thick horizontal rhizome system and budding nodes beneath the soil.
• Young Bamboo Shoot: Emergence of the tender, conical edible shoot protected by overlapping brown sheaths piercing through the surface.
• Elongating Young Culm: Rapid vertical development as the young green pole sheds protective sheaths and telescopes swiftly upward.
