We give to the different groups a card related to a part of a plant, and files to be completed with all the most important facts of the parts of the plants. They will need to change groups and read about the information cards they need. They will write down only the most relevant information.

Creating our own garden

Now, it is the turn to experiment and observe  plants. We have done two simple experiments with kids for them to observe how plants grow and work.

Experiment 1: How can we change the color of flowers?

Experiment 2: Growing seeds in a plastic glass

After learning about plants and flowers, our students will do a relaxing and creative activity .
All the groups of students will have some craft materials on their desks ( the materials  can be different for each group).
The challenge consists in creating a plant with flower using the material in a creative way. They also have to write down the parts of the plants.
Then, it  will be exposed  in the school hall as a display for Spring time.
