Using STEM to Grow a Garden
Students will plant and observe plants from seed to full germination while making observations on growth in this engaging lesson. This will be done using a science notebook to record germination, height, and number of leaves. You will need to decide where to put you plants and what containers you will use, the types of seeds you will provide, and the length of time you will have for this project.

By exploring seeds and the effects of different planting patterns/depths on seed germination, students will conduct exploration of varying seed depths in soil and keep track of growth and traits over
This is the planning and set-up stage for an experiment to see which type of gardening is the most sustainable and produces the best results. You will need to either choose or have students help
Students will begin the year working with a hydroponics system to observe plant growth. To start the students will be given a seedling and determine what the plant is as it goes through the life cycle
