My Project

Our science department is creating a new school garden! Our high school is in an area that is known for its agriculture and we would like to expand our classes to the garden. We use a lot of plants and conduct many experiments with them throughout the year.

These seeds and garden supplies will be used be students to study cell differentiation and plant growth.

They will also be used to set up labs and run experiments designed by the students.

In the future, we plan on creating a gardening club and expanding it to more students in different subject areas. A garden is also a great place for students to study or relax.
