This is a great measuring activity, in addition to a gardening activity. Seed tapes make it easy to plant a row of seeds with precision spacing. Seed tapes are helpful when you have a short supply of seeds, or each is very expensive. Seed tapes provide uniform spacing and avoids the need to thin out
Brief Description: Students use books and handouts to create game show questions about soils and then form teams and play the game. Objectives: Have students conduct research on a topic Students will form questions based on facts and information gathered from research Share researched information with the class through a fun game Challenge students to

Infants learn about the world through their senses: touch, sight, sound, taste, and smell. Creating safe, diverse and developmentally appropriate outdoor learning environments can offer benefits across curriculum and developmental areas. The key to creating positive experiences in outdoor learning environments lies not only in the physical environment but with the modeling and behavior of
Brief Description: Students discuss warm and cool season plants, as well as which plants might need a “head start” inside. Students plant seeds in six pack containers and make predictions. This lesson plan is correlated for third grade but can be modified for other grades as well. Objectives: Students work together to mathematically divide up flats Students are
