Plant Survivor Lab

by  Science Central

Program image

Students will learn what seeds need to germinate and grow into healthy plants. Our educator will lead a discussion into what plants are in their favorite foods. Students will work in groups, using teamwork to sort seeds by description. Become a “Plant Detective” and investigate how you can help plants be “Survivors!”
