| Comments |
| My class has a Venus fly trap that we have successfully kept alive all year! They are always curious when I tell them I have grown a lemon tree inside my home. I think having the next generation learn about growing plants inside would make them enviornmental savy for the future generation. |
| Cross-Curriculum Ideas |
| Cross curriculum would include measuring how much space is needed per plant wight and height. Students would take endless noes and draw conclusions, |
| Follow-Up |
| What worked what didn't have students present. Take home what they learned, grew and enjoy. Begin again with the next year and group of students. |
