Microgreen Educational Kit-Classroom

Bring life to a single concept or add interest and options to current curriculum. Long-lasting materials for one or multiple classes, Grades k-12

Flexible and applicable to various ages and lessons, this will be a long-lasting STEM set to use year after year. Open-ended, this kit can be used in one classroom or with multiple classes.

A lifelong understanding of botany, biology, hydroponic gardening, nutrition, as well as technology, engineering, math, and other important science and art-based concepts begins with hands-on learning. From seed to leaf in less than 10 days, microgreens offer a perfect experimental timeline for children and youth.

Adapt a wide range of NGSS lessons using microgreens to teach and inspire your students.

An assortment of non-GMO seeds allows students to compare and contrast a variety of plant species to observe differences in root structures, leaf development, and overall growth patterns, as well as:

• Textures and colors in multiple species.

• Germination times and responses to varying environmental conditions.

• Gardening, harvest yields, and sustainability factors associated with farming methods.
