Having a classroom greenhouse engages students by mixing book learning and natural curiosity together. It takes them from “show it” to “do it.” Here are a few ways that a greenhouse integrates other learning: Art classes – students have real life objects to sketch, it’s a place to inspire creativity with the colors of nature Math classes – the greenhouse is a place to collect data, learn about measurements. Students can use graphing skills and make projections. It’s also a great place to learn about shadows and light, measuring distance / height using higher math formulas. Language arts – students can journal about their daily experiences, they learn new vocabulary words. They can create stories about the plants. Science – there are great lessons to be had with experiments about plant growth. Students can also learn about global warming, climate change and the effects of heat and light on plants.
