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

In our upcoming unit, students will be learning about plants and how they adapt to their environment. We will be conducting a number of experiments on plants as part of our learning experience.

This project contains the seeds and different soil types we will need in order to carry out the experiments.

We also will be looking at some different science experiment kits to further investigate the needs of plants and all the different things that can effect their growth.

Please help us celebrate the springtime as well as learn all about plants!
