The lesson “Making Mini-Greenhouses” teaches children to further observe and understand the growth process of local plants and crops. The children will define the parts of a seed and then apply their knowledge of plant growth to a hands-on project of constructing a mini-greenhouse. Each child will plant seeds and observe the growth of the seed to maturity. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the 26th lesson in the 2nd Year “Raising Food” unit.
