This app is designed to help children strengthen their science investigation skills and explore the concepts of growth and change as they:
• Identify some of the things a plant needs to grow: water, light, and time.
• Observe and describe characteristics of seeds and plants.
• Identify and describe parts of a sprouting seed and growing plant.
• Record observations and data about growing plants.
• Begin to pose questions and make predictions about how a seed or plant may change over time.

The Plants Journal and the entire Plants curriculum supplement from Early Science with Nico & Nor™ was rigorously researched and developed specifically for preschool classroom use. The Plants unit contains two apps: Wonder Farm and the Plants Journal. In Wonder Farm, children plant digital seeds and help them grow.

Each Early Science with Nico & Nor curriculum supplement combines traditional classroom activities with digital learning to promote young children’s engagement with age-appropriate science practices and concepts during circle time, learning centers, read-aloud book sessions, snack time, and outdoor play!
