EXPLORING THE LEVELS OF CREATION: Have you ever wondered about life and creation? Is there existence after death? Why do we have to go through such trials and tribulations here on Earth? Why do we have thoughts and dreams that run from the sublime to the bizarre? Why do goodness and evil go hand in hand in life ... or do they? The answers to these questions and more are brought to light by author and spiritual teacher Sylvia Browne. Once again, she shares her psychic gifts and years of research in order to enlighten us and give us more insights into God and the realities of life. This time she tackles the structure of creation by showing us that there really is purpose and order in our seemingly chaotic world. She outlines the levels of physical incarnation, along with the reality of the afterlife and the heretofore-unexplored ''lower levels'' of creation. From the wondrous and weird lower levels, to the everyday intricacies of life on this planet, to the beautiful and perfect Other Side, Sylvia takes us on another journey of exploration and truth. This is a book that explains all levels of life ... as only Sylvia can!

This book begins with a lesson on the nature of botany and the process of classifying plants. It then discusses the development of plants from seeds, the reproduction processes in plants, the way plants make their food, and how plants get their water and nutrients and distribute them throughout the body of the plant. As students study these topics, they also learn about many different kinds of plants in creation and where they belong in the plant classification system. The activities and projects use easy-to-find household items and truly make the lessons come alive! They include making a "light hut" in which to grow plants, dissection of a bean seed, growing seeds in plastic bags to watch the germination process, making a leaf skeleton, observing how plants grow towards light, measuring transpiration, forcing bulbs to grow out of season, and forcing pine cones to open and close. We recommend that you spend the entire school year covering this book.
