Gardening and Growing Plants

How Can We Grow Plants at Home or School?

Gardening is a fun way to learn about plant life cycles and watch science in action! You just need seeds, soil, water, and sunlight.

Steps for Planting

  1. Find a pot or patch of soil.
  2. Plant your seeds and water them.
  3. Place them in a sunny spot.
  4. Watch them grow and keep a journal of changes.

Real-World Benefits

Growing plants helps us learn responsibility and where our food comes from. Plants also clean the air and make spaces beautiful!

Examples
