An exploration of how plant behavior and adaptation offer valuable insights for human thriving. We know that plants are important. They maintain the atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They nourish other living organisms and supply psychological benefits to humans as well, improving our moods and beautifying the landscape around us. But plants don’t just passively provide. They also take action. Beronda L. Montgomery explores the vigorous, creative lives of organisms often treated as static and predictable. In fact, plants are masters of adaptation. They “know” what or who they are, and they use this knowledge to make a way in the world. Plants experience a kind of sensation that does not require eyes or ears. They distinguish kin, friend, and foe, and they are able to respond to ecological competition despite lacking the capacity of fight-or-flight. Plants are even capable of transformative behaviors that allow them to maximize their chances of survival in a dynamic and sometimes unfriendly environment. Lessons from Plants enters into the depth of botanic experience and shows how we might improve human society by better appreciating not just what plants give us but also how they achieve their own purposes. What would it mean to learn from these organisms, to become more aware of our environments and to adapt to our own worlds by calling on perception and awareness rather than reason? Montgomery’s meditative study puts before us a question with the power to reframe the way we live: What would a plant do?

Excerpt from Observation Lessons on Plant Life: A Guide to the Teacher, a Two Year's Course of Nature Study The following lessons are addressed in an informal manner now to the teacher and now to the pupil. The reasons for such irregular style are as follow - Playful phraseology is out of place in a teacher's book; but as his mere tool we feared this work would dismally fail to interest even himself. On the other hand, to address the pupils only and never the teacher would have meant producing a reader, and setting the children to think about commas and full stops and the meaning of words, when they ought to be asking questions and making discoveries concerning actual objects under observation. Bailey, in his Lessons on Plants for American school children, is the only author, so far as we are aware, who as yet has written on our own lines; but his book not only deals With some unfamiliar plants, but it presupposes much greater intelligence than is ordinarily evinced by English country children. His questions sound, even to grown-up ears, like a series of riddles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The book contains 24 individual lessons that include: An SEL objective with specific keywords like “inner strength,” “problem solving,” and “responsibility” An engaging story that focuses on a distinctive quality of either a plant (like the inner strength of bamboo) or an animal (like the courage of a pig) Multiple activities that are quick, easy, and require few supplies to help kids identify and dive deeper into the specific SEL concepts represented Educators can use these lessons individually with students, in small groups, or with an entire class. The lessons are interdisciplinary and flexible, with only minimal prep time required, allowing educators to adapt them for their situation. Extensive digital content supports the lessons with reproducible forms and a full-color photo of each plant and animal.

Excerpt from Lessons With Plants: Suggestions for Seeing and Interpreting Some of the Common Forms of Vegetation Plants are among the most informal of objects, but botany is popularly understood to be one of the most formal of the natural sciences. This is only another way of saying that plant-study is not always taught by a natural method; and this the writer believes to be true for the secondary schools, and it is the reason why he was willing to undertake the preparation of a book about plants for beginners, when urged to do so by the publishers. It is a common method to begin the study of plants by means of formal ideals - or definitions, - but the author believes that the proper way to begin it is by means of plants. The definition sets a model and tells the pupil what he shall see; the plant shows him what there is to be seen, and the definition follows. When one has studied a number of objects, he begins unconsciously to generalize and to arrange the impressions which he has received, and his conclusion is the only true definition for him.

Excerpt from Nature Study One Hundred Lessons About Plants Nature Study is new; Liebig was the first man who used a laboratory for instruction. He began his career as a teacher in 1824. Courses in mathematics and language have had centuries in which to perfect their methods of instruction and the lessons it is best to offer; for this reason, lessons in these subjects are good, if not the best, that can be offered, and the methods of giving them have had opportunity to eliminate errors. The teacher of nature study has almost no past to guide him. The older teach ers of nature study were not themselves taught in schools. As a department of instruction it is without traditions or precedents. Every serious teacher so far has had to pave his own road. All teachers have gone different roads. It could not be otherwise. The material with which nature study deals, is inexhaustible; no one can ever be acquainted with more than an insignificant frac tion of it. It is all good. It will always be the case that success ful teachers will give what they know. They will accordingly teach different things. It is probably true that every successful teacher has, from year to year, taken his pupils over different ground, and that everything done has proved to be good. What it is best to teach we cannot yet tell, in other words, than that that material is best which can be bad. This nature study work has passed through three phases. It was first taught from books. The only nature study work I ever did in school was in Geography and Physiology and every syllable of these came from books. We next added the laboratory. How new this phase of the subject is, may be learned from the presi dential address of Dr. Wiley before the Indiana Science Teachers' Association at Lafayette, in 1895. He says: Prior to 1863 no laboratory instruction was given in Indiana except a little in qualitative analysis.
