A few days ago, Tariq participated in a Botany : Plant
Morphology Field Trip!🥰
It was really an amazing learning experience for Tariq and
his homeschooling buddies, Alhamdulillah!🤩
The field trip was taught by husband and wife team of
experts - Dr Khadijah and Dr Yahya, MashaAllah! 🥳
Tariq (and Mama) learn so much about plants!
Mainly, Tariq discovered the many plant features and
functions thru observation and understanding the many intrinsic characteristics
that only experts would know, MashaAllah!🥰
Tariq learn how to distinguishing planted from naturally
occurring forest species, the different species regenerate, observe how trees
form a canopy, learning what limit the canopy height, understanding the forest
floor (fern, seedlings herbaceous plants, dead leaves, animals), understanding
how large trees are changing the environment, distinguishing flowering from
non-flowering plants, distinguishing leaves from stems, distinguishing and
classifying leaf types, observing flower and fruits and learning the role of
flowers and fruits.
He even learn about edible leaves, how to identify if we can
eat them and actually ate a few himself!😂
Hmmm… sedap jugak la, Mama..!, said Tariq quite surprised
with the pleasant taste of the leave he ate.
Said the boy yang tak pernah makan ulam…
Hahaha
SubhanAllah!!
Alhamdulillah!!
Nothing can beat learning about Allah’s nature than being in
the nature itself!🥰🥰🥰
The 2-hour session went by so fast, the kids didn’t want to
even take a break, MashaAllah!!
Tariq came home that day as a boy who not only learn new
things but on top of that..
Became truly amazed of Allah’s many mind-blowing greatness
that Tariq learn to observe and witness thru His botany creations, SubhanAllah
Alhamdulillah!!🥰🥰🥰
