It's January and this week it was so cold our faces burned. It was a great time to start planning our Spring garden though. Students learned that a good garden site has access to water, sun and great soil. We went over the concepts of square foot gardening and students wore the landscape design hat for a class.
1/5/16
This week we talked about seeds. We took fast growing seeds, 4 small cups and paper towels. We wanted to see what the best growing conditions for seeds were.
Cup A had water, light and warmth
Cup B had no wamth and no light
Cup C had no light
Cup D had no water
Students made predictions about which cup would produce viable seedlings. After a week Cup A and B had sprouted. Seeds like darkness and water and warmth the best.
