Plant Growth and Gardening Part 2: Elements for Plant Survival and Planting a Garden

Through the use of the Read Aloud, "Up in the Garden and Down by the Dirt" by Kate Messner, students will learn about all the elements that make up a garden. Students will also plant a seed into a planter or in a garden and write their observations of their plant's growth in their science journals. Students will use measurement skills through the use of rulers. This will be a great opportunity to practice their graphing skills to share their findings with their classmates.
