Tomatosphere™
Through Tomatosphere™, your students will investigate the effects of outer space on the germination of tomato seeds. This is a hands-on program that builds scientific inquiry and experimentation skills.
Seed Dispersal
Students develop and apply the skills of observing, comparing, contrasting, sorting and classifying, to investigate how seeds move from place to place.
Plants: Growth
10 images showing some stages of plant growth from planting to sprouts growing to harvesting
Plants: Germination
6 images of some seedlings sprouting as one of the stages towards full plant growth
Plant Life Cycle
Students develop and apply the skills of observing, comparing & contrasting, and communicating as they explore life cycles of familiar plants.
