CUSTOM MATERIALS
Seed Sorting Activity Sheet (1 per student)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In this unit, students take their first steps toward backyard gardening! Students test their seed knowledge by matching common seeds to the plants they belong to (pumpkins, sunflowers, etc). Next, they will start their own seeds trays, expand peat pods, and plant seeds for a garden.

WHAT'S INSIDE:
This download comes with a detailed lesson plan and a supply list to gather your materials. Also included in this download is the digital file for the seed sorting activity sheet, and a bonus garden chart for teachers who are starting their own school gardens. We recommend buying materials at least 5-7 days before your class and to plan about 3-4 hours of prep depending on the size of your class.
