Plant and grow a garden

Science

• The child learned about the life cycle of plants, from planting a seed to watching it grow into a mature plant.
• They observed the different parts of a plant and understood their functions, such as roots for absorbing water and nutrients, leaves for photosynthesis, and flowers for reproduction.
• The child also learned about the importance of sunlight, water, and soil for the growth of plants.
• They gained an understanding of the role of pollinators like bees and butterflies in the process of plant reproduction.

Encourage the child to continue their learning by keeping a journal to track the growth of their garden. They can also experiment with different plant species and observe how they each grow and develop differently. Additionally, they can research and learn about the different types of soil and how it affects plant growth.
