Learn and Grow Sustainably: A Lesson Plan Series for Grades 3-5 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692878842)

The purpose of Learn and Grow Sustainably is to teach students of all ages to appreciate the interaction between humans, plants, and the environment. Our Sunflower Grow Kit is fully compostable and allows students to witness the growth of an edible food product within 10 days. This lesson plan series will help students to learn about plant growth, nutrition, and physiology as well as a little bit of materials science through experiments on our kit's compostable plastic container. These topics are important for fostering a sense of environmental stewardship for a more sustainable future. The activities in this two part lesson series are optimized for grades 3-5 and are aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards for that grade band. However, this lesson can be adapted to suit K-2, Middle School, High School, and Adult Education by aligning the lessons to similar standards at different grade levels. We developed the lessons in this series to accompany the GreenSpace Sunflower Microgreen Grow Kit, which is available through our website, at farmers' markets and local businesses in the PA/MD/DE area, and Amazon.
