A simple activity to make seed balls, also known as seed bombs, to reclaim barren areas of soil or garden!
The clay vessels that you create for your seeds and compost offer a fun way to plant your seeds while providing protection for the exposed seeds. The compost in your balls act as a source of nutrients. The seeds remain inside the seed balls until rains soak the clay and stimulate the seeds.

A set of 21 recipes, find the best one for your classroom!
Tasting and eating produce from your Learning Garden with your students is a simple and fun way to enjoy the fruit of your labours! If you are new to food preparation or are trying a new recipe for the first time, remember to follow basic food safety rules, take note of student allergies, and carefully handle kitchen equipment with and around students. Tasting events are a wonderful opportunity to invite parents and guardians into the classroom to assist and bring their own expertise to the table
Lesson by Big Green
Lesson originally designed for outdoor gardens, but can be easily adapted for indoor gardens.
In this activity, students cooperate to create a unique set of behaviour and safety rules for the Learning Garden. When students participate in creating Learning Garden rules, they have a better understanding of the behaviour expectations for the Learning Garden.
Incorporate your garden into the culture of your school by inviting students to participate in a rule-making activity. Setting behaviour expectations from the beginning will ensure that the garden is respected and can function as an engaging space for learning.
It’s simple and easy enough for your small children to make.. and it’s an opportunity to be scientists and chefs.
If you’ve got a bit more time try these simple activities with your students and explore why oil and vinegar don’t mix naturally, how you can get them to mix and what makes a great salad dressing.
This resource is suitable for Grade 2-6 students and will explore the concept of emulsion. Can be adapted to younger grades.
Growth mindset poster for the classroom or individual students.
When Carol Dweck and her colleagues studied students’ attitudes about failure over 30 years ago, they noticed that some students rebounded while other students seemed devastated by small setbacks. Dr. Dweck coined the terms fixed mindset and growth mindset. When a student has a growth mindset, they understand that their intelligence and abilities could grow through practice, hard work and determination. A fixed mindset is the notion that intelligence is fixed and that it, along with talent, alone lead to success. With a fixed mindset, you believe you were either born with it, or you were not.
This poster helps students choose language to develop their growth mindset!
