Propagating from fruit and vegetable scraps
TLF ID A002800
We’re going to use fruit and vegetable scraps to propagate or grow new plants! Investigating plant growth engages young learners in a hands-on science project and helps illustrate plant features and life-cycles. Your plants can even be planted into the garden to produce a future crop. OUTCOMES for this learning activity are for children to: engage in a hands-on investigation; understand that plants have features such as roots and leaves; monitor the changes they observe; appreciate that living things have needs in order to survive and thrive; and make connections to how the food they eat looks as a plant.
