Needs of Plants

Plants have specific needs - light, air, water, nutrients, and space - to survive and reproduce.

Seed Dispersal

Students develop and apply the skills of observing, comparing, contrasting, sorting and classifying, to investigate how seeds move from place to place.

Students will work collaboratively to design and build models of seeds that can travel as far as possible.

Design & Build a Seed Saver

Students will work collaboratively to design and build a structure that will protect a seed from the elements.

Design & Build an Irrigation System

Students will work collaboratively to design and build a simple irrigation system that transports water to at least two plants from one source without leaking.
