As a teacher of fourth grade students, you sometimes wonder what are the most important things you are really teaching? There are so many lessons that we teach at a desk that is really an add-on from third grade that will be a beginning to what they learn in fifth. Facts and algorithms, rules and standards are the things we focus on the most. Science could be like that too. There are many lessons to be learned from a book, but science was meant to really get your hands dirty right? So, my project idea is to really get our hands dirty. One of the fourth grade science seed standards is to be able to explain-from evidence-that plants have external and internal structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. I can’t even think of a better way to do that in a classroom than to actually start a garden in there! I have wanted to do a classroom garden for many years and this opportunity has really spurred on some great projects in my head. I have always wanted to experiment with hydroponics as well as soil use when starting plants. I think it will be a fun project that we can do year-round.
