I have students that regularly come see me at lunch to take care of classroom plants and critters. One student became the plant manager and has worked daily to check on the system and refill water, fertilizer, etc. \r\n\r\nThe plant manager also harvested our first crop of lettuce as seen in the pictures and we had a salad party during our school's lunch. We really enjoyed the fresh lettuce and students commented on how much sweeter the lettuce was fresh. We also gave our madagascar hissing cockroaches and mealworms some of the lettuce. \r\n\r\nWhat is really cool, is after she cut the lettuce leaves from the stalk, it is able to grow back. I was able to show it to all of my classes when we were discussing asexual reproduction/mitosis as a real life example.
