“My year 1 and 2 students vocabulary has grown tremendously. From watching the soil tablets swell as they absorbed the water to the sprouting seedlings we have enjoyed wonderful discussions about our discoveries. As we head into the holidays we are leaving our plants under the watchful eye of our caretaker and have a kitchen chemistry unit planned to use these wonderful ingredients. This kit is a wonderful unit in itself, but also a truly fabulous springboard to so many other learning opportunities and a great way to encourage our students to explore gardening.”
