Sharing some background information about strawberries and then sharing my free printable strawberries lapbook, I think all ages will enjoy this lapbook.
The strawberry is an herbaceous perennial and the perennial portion of the plant is the crown, which is the stem.
The crown produces roots, leaves, branch crowns and flowers.
First, a bit of history about the strawberry.
In Greek and Roman times, the strawberry was considered a wild plant.
In 1780, the first strawberry hybrid was developed in the United States.
And the strawberry was a symbol for Venus, the goddess of love because of its heart shape and red color.
There are many theories on how the strawberry got its name.
Some people believed that the name came from the practice of placing straw around the growing plants for protection.
Still others believe the name originated more than 1,000 years ago with the runner, which are horizontal branches at the base of the plant that produce new plants from buds at its tips.
And one more thought is that the name came from the Anglo-Saxon verb to strew (spread) and the fruit came to be known as streabergen, straberry, streberie, straibery, straubery, and finally, strawberry to the English.
