My Project

Hello! Help me provide my students with the opportunity to grow plants and discover the different stages of plant growth!

With your help, my students will be able to hypothesize which environment their flowers would grow the best in and conduct an experiment on growing their wildflowers in different locations under various conditions.

Included in this project are two different kinds of lighting which will help me to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere in my classroom.

Thank you so much for your consideration in supporting my amazing third graders!

Ms. Pitcher Curry Elementary School Grades 3-5
