Fun with Plants!

Even if you don't have a green thumb, come experience lessons that integrate plants into core and elective subjects from elementary school through high school. All lessons are hands-on, fun, and can be done on a shoestring budget! Leave with finished products, ideas, and a resource list of ways to integrate plant science into your classroom curricula. Fast lessons, semester-long projects, indoors or outdoors, with or without a garden, we'll cover ways to make sure plants get the attention they deserve!
