Curriculum link:
  • Subject: SESE Science | Strand: Plants and Animals | Theme: Growing Seeds
Activity:
  • Given the current circumstances of home isolation, we have given three options for this part of the project!
  1.  If you have seeds from the Incredible Edibles schools pack, why not plant them? If your plants are already planted, how are they growing? Take a photo and show us!

  2. If you have the means to buy some seeds or happen to have them lying around already, why not use them! We usually stick to our 7 Incredible Edibles Heroes however any seeds you find in your house will do! For growing tips, visit the GARDENING TIPS section! Takes some photos of this process/draw out the steps you took in planting!
    ​
  3. We understand in this time of isolation that accessibility can be a problem, so why not reuse what you have in your kitchen?! Even if you don’t get budding plants, it is a fun experiment to try out!
