Life through Succulents is a way to build community and develop an appreciation for the life sciences and nature. The students will decorate a personal pot to represent their identity and values. The opening to the project will give each class a basis for connecting and establishing relationships through initial sharing and expression. Then, we will plant the succulents. The students will use scientific sketches, accurate labels and graphing to describe and depict their plants then chart the growth in scientific notebook. The succulents project will open up avenues for us as a class to connect our own community building to continued scientific learning.
