My Project

These resources will help students to understand the natural world. They will be able to develop scientific skills allowing them to appreciate the diversity and interconnectedness of life.

This project will show an understanding of growth and development not just in plants and animals but also humans.

It will help to foster critical thinking and the needs of living things.

Students will be able to grow their very own plants throughout the school year and take them home for a continued learning of responsibility and hopefully a life long learning experience to foster growth of living things.
