Garden

Art

• The student learned about colors and how to mix them to create new colors while painting flowers and plants in the garden.
• They explored different textures by using various materials such as cotton balls for clouds, tissue paper for flowers, and sand for pathways in their garden artwork.
• Through drawing and creating garden scenes, the student demonstrated their imaginative skills by representing their own version of a garden with unique features and elements.

Science

• The student learned about the life cycle of plants and the importance of seeds as they planted and observed seeds growing into plants in their mini garden.
• They explored concepts of environmental science by understanding the role of sunlight, water, and soil in plant growth and development through hands-on experience in the garden.
• The student developed an understanding of the different parts of plants such as leaves, stems, and roots as they interacted with real plants in the garden and created their own representations through art activities.

For continued development, encourage the student to explore different art mediums in depicting garden scenes, such as collage, sculpture, or mixed media. Additionally, incorporating observation and record-keeping of plant growth into the garden activity can further enhance their understanding of plant life cycles and environmental science.
