Jardin Estella de Tolson

This lesson uses the children’s book The Seed and the Giant Saguaro to teach about plant and wildlife habitat in the Sonoran Desert. It includes story reading, discussion, a field experience, writing, and drawing.

The students will measure the surface of the tubs, to divide the space needed to plant the three variety of red, green lettuce and kale plants. They will measure distances of each tub from the water source to determine various length of water tubing needed.
