If you're looking for educational, hands-on fun, visit "Discovery Hour"! (http://discoveryhour.blogspot.com/)
The most recent "Discovery Hour" was all about seeds and growing plants! Not only did we come home with our own planted seeds, it opened up a whole bunch of extension activities at home!
Here are some sunflowers sprouting (less than a week after planting at "Discovery Hour")! |
Here's a peek at our indoor extravaganza of plants! We have sprouts from the Daisy pot, watermelon greenhouse, and the sunflower newspaper pot! |
The connections and extensions seem infinite...
- plant life cycle
- requirements for plant growth
- water cycle (mini-greenhouse has all phases!)
- environmental factors, affects, etc. on plant growth
- ecosystems
- seed/plant components
Happy spring, everyone! Enjoy all the beauty and opportunities of this wonderful time of year!
I am so glad you enjoyed Discovery Hour, and glad to hear that the seeds are sprouting!
