Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Students will investigate various methods of growing their own food in and outside of their classroom. Concepts explored through this project include the carbon cycle, photosynthesis, nutrition, soil health, and teamwork.

Students will experiment with seeds and multiple gardening methods to uncover the best ways for them to grow their own food.

Student teams will work together to research, design, build, plant and maintain their own unique gardens.

This long term environmental science project will allow students to have repeated exposure to critical learning in engaging, practical and hands-on methods.
