A Peek Inside: Our Classroom Program |
|
|
One day a week, Seedling hosts a program in the classroom of 7th-grade science teacher Ms. Mitzel at Green Street Academy. So far, students have learned about plant science, nutrition, and sustainability through a variety of hands-on demonstrations and projects! They're pictured here helping set up classroom hydroponics units, which help bring concepts in plant anatomy and sustainable agriculture to life. 💡 |

On Our Socials: Bean Dissection Lab |
|
|
One of our first lessons covers soil, seeds, and plant anatomy! Interactive activities like soil sampling and a lima bean dissection illustrate important ideas and definitions. Try this at home - after soaking a bean in water and splitting it in half, can you see the seed coat and baby plant? 🫛
Up next for the GSA scholars: once they are back from break, we'll transition into the second half of our curriculum. Spanning water quality, coding, CAD, and business, it is targeted at developing career-ready technical and soft skills. 💼 |
