How Project Benefits Students

Our learning garden is a place for long term investigations and outdoor plant and insect studies.
The students will learn how to plant and map out a garden, maintain and harvest vegetables, pollinators plants and shrubs.
Students will take a pre and posttest to check for learning and use their created map to plant the fall and spring seeds.
 

 

Expected Outcome(s)

Students will combine several math and science skills to create a garden design, including research and drawing a garden to scale.
Students will learn and use the terms perimeter and area to calculate and design garden beds.
I will use the Inch by Inch, from Gardening for grades, Pre-Post assessment (see attachment) to check for understanding and expect 100% of the students will score an 80% or higher on the post test.
I expect the students to have a better understanding of agriculture, along with the work and research it takes to maintain a successful garden.
