Today's Classroom Activities :

Sprouts!

Sprouting Seeds
Science Prepare some clear plastic bags with a small amount of soil and have the children place two seeds of the same kind in each bag. Try various seeds such as pumpkin, bean, marigold, etc. Number the bags. Apply a couple of drops of water to each bag and then staple them to a bulletin board that gets sun. Keep records as to the number of days before sprouting is seen, days when water is added (with eye droppers), bags that don't require as much water, etc. Graph your findings and transplant seedlings as they become ready.

Growing Season
Using this science experiment, students will learn how temperature and gravity affect germination of seeds.

"Greenhouse" Sprouts Garden
Students grow sprouts from seeds using soil in clear plastic bags.

Sprouting Seeds
Watch children spring right into this sprouting activity!

From Seed to Plant
Students will identify plant parts, where seeds come from and how they grow. They will also determine what plants need to survive and finally, recognize how plants are a benefit to people and our planet.
