Description
Many students will have never experienced growing their own food, so following a plant’s life cycle from seed to table could be a novel and life altering experience. The opportunities to learn and apply STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) concepts in school gardens abound. From charting plant growth & development, graphing rainfall, to conducting soil percolation tests to designing greenhouses & bird feeders are just a few. Participants will complete a soil perforation test, learn and gather different items for composting and make a lasagna garden, make seed balls, design a gardening log and journal, learn the benefits of native planting and water conservation as well as other STEM gardening resources.
