My Project

This seed sprouting project is a hands-on STEM activity that introduced kindergarteners to the process of plant growth. In this project, the students will explore the life cycle of plants by sprouting seeds and observing their development over time.

The seed sprouting project provides kindergarteners with a hands-on experience to explore and understand the life cycle of plants, fostering curiosity, observation sills, and an appreciation for nature.

We are requesting seeds, which will be the focal point of the project. Potting soil which will provide a suitable growing medium for the seeds. The students will use their journals to record their observations throughout the project. They will document the changes they observe each day. Using these supplies in the Seed Sprouting Project, the students will have hands-on experience with the grown and development of plants, fostering their understanding of the plant life cycle and the factors that influence plant growth.
