Botany

Botany is a self-paced learning path in Biological Sciences, free to read, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to identify key characteristics defining plant life; trace the evolution of plant science study; describe specialized organelles within plant cells.
