Designed to teach children about plants, their life cycles and their different species, this app lets children choose a seed and plant it in moist potting soil. If you are patient and take good care of it, you'll see your plant grow each day. As you progress through the app, you'll get new plants to add to your garden. Each of the app's sections has mini games designed to help you study and improve your skills, with content that adapts to your level. In addition, you can go outside and study plants in the natural world, taking photographs to compare with the application’s 3D models and make a field notebook. Content includes: the classification of plants - grasses, shrubs and trees; the parts and their functions - root, stem, leaf, flower and fruit; classification and examples of each part of the plants; the plant’s growth process; the processes of nutrition, photosynthesis and respiration; the process of sexual reproduction (flowering or non-flowering) and asexual reproduction; plant adaptation to different ecosystems.; and how plants change throughout the seasons.
