okay how we did this.
i plan to use clear plastic cups. that way the kids can see the roots and easier to see all the things going in in this cup.

now what we did was let the kids if they had money buy their own seeds from where ever and told them when they had to have it here.

alot of them since we have computers wanted to buy off ebay (which was a learning expierence in its own right).

so we did. the ones who couldnt afford it i made up some differences and asked here for donations.

okay once we got all the seeds since it was around christmas time we let the kids (35 kids as only one class got to do this so far)plant them and take them home with the parents signing a paper as to not to help. if it dies it dies. learning here.

i recommend this project for other teachers as it is a learning expierence.

first the buying part of it. the spending of money.

second the growing part (science here)

the last part is learning not everything turns out the way you want it to. seeds dont always germinate.

i do have a few pics but rather wait till you can see all of the pics step by step.

i labled each cup with name class and plant type.

we are planning to put them all under different lighting conditions. (shade window light just the class light things like this.)
so here goes we have started.

oh by the way poke holes in bottom of cups before putting dirt and seeds in. hehe
