From Farm to Table: Gardening
The "From Farm to Table" unit will provide 2nd grade students with an understanding of the journey food takes from the farm to their tables. Students will explore the water cycle, plant life cycle, food chain, composting, growing a garden, and the importance of local farms and ranches. Through a combination of hands-on activities, discussions, and field trips, students will develop a deeper appreciation for where their food comes from and the importance of sustainable practices.
This specific lesson is a week long portion of the unit, focusing on plant life cycles, parts of seeds, and planting and harvesting a garden.
