Botany Lesson | Underground Edible Plants

This lesson was interiorly inspired by the book Botanicum. I added this lesson in part because the illustrations in Botanicum were so breathtaking. The content for this lesson also came from the book Botanicum. We spent some time looking at the three different kinds of underground edibles: Rhizomes, Root Vegetables and Tubers. We also made extensive lists of various kinds of underground edibles so our lists were quite full and complete. We drew the white potato for the tuber, carrot for the root vegetable and ginger for the rhizome. I only learned after the lesson was complete that there was an entry in the book Plants of the Quran on ginger, and I could have added in a religious lesson as well.
