In this activity from Kids Gardening, your students will dissect bulbs! Bulbs are plants growing from an underground mass of food storage tissues. The storage capacity of a bulb is a special adaptation for survival.

Students will:

  • Learn about bulbs.
  • Learn the different parts of a bulb and what they do.
  • Explore the parts of the bulb through dissection.

There are many options for branching out from this activity into science, math, art or language.

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 simple activity to demonstrate the relationships between people and plants!

They’re the only living things that make their own food. Not only that, but they are the source of all food for every other living thing. What are they? Plants!

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.

In this lesson, students will identify that plants need specific things to grow into a healthy plant.

  • Plants need L.A.W.N.S.: light, air, water, nutrients, and space to grow.
  • Air and water serve a vital role in the growth process.

There is an easy acronym to help remember basic plant needs (the things that plants need to survive and thrive): L.A.W.N.S.
