2. Have you ever thought about growing your OWN garden? If so, what kinds of plants, fruits or vegetables would you want to grow?

3. Would you grow sunflowers? Would you grow apples? Would you grow corn?

4. For this project, we will come up with a few plants and or fruits/vegetables we want to grow. We will need to research a few things first: ✿ Materials needed to make a garden ✿ Conditions plants can grow in ✿ Dimensions for garden ✿ Daily duties and responsibilities

5. ☼ Throughout the project, you all will be collecting data such as daily progression. Example: growth. ☼ A PowerPoint will be made with all the data you boys and girls collect and will be shown to your families and other classes. ☼ A plant sale will take place with the plants you all successfully grow at the end of this project. ☼ We will also find recipes to make a dish out of the fruits or vegetables we have grown at the end of this project that we can enjoy together.

6. As a class we need to work together throughout the entire project. We will not be able to move forward if we don’t solve our problems step by step.  Picking plants  Conditions and dimensions  Materials needed  Following daily duties assigned

7. Now that we have tons of pictures that we have taken throughout the project and many charts, what do we do with all of it? We make a PowerPoint to show off all of our hard work. This image was obtained from “Responsive Classroom”.
