Engage lower elementary students with a hands-on gardening and plant growth simulation lab designed to teach the essential resources plants need to grow – sunlight, water, air, and soil. This interactive science activity also helps students explore the environmental impact of increasing population density through a fun, age-appropriate experiment.

Use this video alongside our Crowding Can Be Seedy lesson plan to help kindergarteners, first and second graders learn about plant growth and practice data literacy skills. To download a free copy of the lesson plan PDF, click the green button below.
