My Project

Utilizing the plant growing kit my students will be able to practice their gardening skills while kilo-ing (observing) their surroundings. While in class, the chargers and speaker will support students to work effectively listening to music while charging their phones- minimizing distractions. With these materials, biology class will be more engaging and support students learning to thrive in class and through their academic and life journey. Students are learning about ecological systems and photosynthesis through place and the importance of sustainability. By watching plants grow in class students will have a heightened experience of learning the ease and potential of growing their own personal garden at home.
