Scientific Sketching of Flowers

Today room 10 looked closely at three types of flowers two of which we have in our outdoor classroom and one that came from my sister-in-laws house.

Lily of the Vally (smells amazing!)
Bleeding Hearts
Lavender

We started with the Legend of the Bleeding Heart, this is a story about how the flower was given it's name (the students were very interested in this). We then talked about where we might find these flowers and if they have other purposes like calming or medicinal. The students enjoyed using our art materials to sketch and record what they saw in their visual journals.
