About This Product 🍃
This complete plant biology unit investigates the developmental journey of the nectarine tree (Prunus persica var. nucipersica) through detailed photographic sequences. Children explore four essential growth stages—Seed, Germination, Young Plant, and Mature Plant—using three engaging, multi-sensory activities that strengthen fine motor coordination, nurture scientific curiosity, and expand botanical vocabulary! ✂️📋
