PROJECTS
Learn Methods of Propagation
Propagate a Snake Plant
CUSTOM MATERIALS
Houseplant Fact Sheet (1 per student)
Propagation Slides (1 set per teacher)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Students learn how to propagate houseplants through three main methods - seeds, clippings, and divisions. Each student will take home their own snake plant (sansevieria) division to care for at home, and will learn about the native climate of their plant and how to take care of it. Teachers should purchase snake plants one week before class. Make sure you have enough divisions for each student to take home their own plant.
NOTE: Includes live plants! (You will need to purchase snake plants (that can be divided), a spider plant, and fruit/veg locally before class. Budget $5-6/student for plants. Sometimes to help keep costs down, community members are willing to donate their overgrown plants from home to give students the opportunity to practice this without having to buy new plants. It’s worth asking around).
WHAT'S INSIDE:
This download comes with a detailed lesson plan and a supply list to gather your materials. Also included are pdfs of the Houseplant Propagation Slides and the Houseplant Fact Sheet. 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.
This activity supports the following Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core standards.
