Old Potato, New Potato, Hot Potato: Discover, Grow, Eat
Students will be learning about the life cycle of a potato, how to grow potatoes, and measuring the growth of the stems. You'll need potatoes that are ready to plant, garden space, or tubs to put the potatoes in. The students will record their observations of the growth and write/draw in a garden journal. Once the kids harvest the potatoes, they will cook them in a "culinary classroom." I hope you enjoy this lesson!
