Dive deep into the fascinating world of plant biology with the 'Window Display Garden Kit: Lima Bean Growth Journey & Educational Journal'. This innovative educational tool is meticulously crafted to offer young learners a tangible and interactive way to explore the life cycle of plants, making it an indispensable resource for educators, homeschooling paren

ts, and science enthusiasts. Designed to captivate and educate, this kit bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world observation, providing a comprehensive learning experience that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for nature.

At the heart of this kit is the window display garden, a clear, easy-to-setup module that allows students to plant and observe the growth of lima beans in real-time. This transparent approach not only demystifies the process of germination and plant development but also engages students in a daily discovery journey, watching as seeds sprout roots, shoot up stems, and unfurl leaves, all in the comfort of their classroom or home.

Accompanying the window garden is the 'Educational Journal', a carefully designed workbook that guides students through each phase of the lima bean's growth. From germination to maturity, the journal is filled with prompts, questions, and activities tailored to encourage detailed observation and thoughtful reflection. It serves as a personal logbook where students can record data, sketch their observations, and note changes, fostering a scientific mindset and enhancing their understanding of plant biology.

The integration of this kit into learning environments supports key educational standards and objectives, making science accessible and enjoyable. It prompts discussions about photosynthesis, ecosystems, and the importance of plants to human life, tying into broader curriculum themes and encouraging interdisciplinary learning.

I use this as an easy sub day activity. It helps students use critical thinking skills and work on content vocabulary. I use it for any unit and it is my "go to" sub day activity because of how easy it is.

This resource is a science driven, easy to use pack to use when investigating all things pumpkin! Pumpkinology is a great way to incorporate kindergarten science standards in a fun, fall themed way.

Cut off the top of a pumpkin and let them scoop out the insides to count seeds, estimate how many counting cubes tall is a pumpkin, how many paperclips will it take to fit around the pumpkin? Will the pumpkin sink or float? What is the life cycle of a pumpkin? Color or use tissue paper to produce a tear art version to create their very own pumpkin.

I use this resource in my classroom on October 31st as part of our fall party! We investigate all things pumpkin and the grand finale is when we carve a face on the pumpkin, add in baking soda, vinegar and green food coloring to make the pumpkin explode (outside of course)! This is a day your students will remember for years to come!

Teachers can use it as a:

• Halloween party and make each investigation a station
• Week long investigation of pumpkin attributes
• Science project to let little learners estimate what they think will happen
• Fall fun pack
• Lesson on the life cycle of a pumpkin

Happy pumpkin investigating!

Tips for your mindfulness nature walk

1. Walk at a natural, slow pace. Take your time to take in the beauty of nature around you. Look around you. Notice the trees around you. Are they starting to change colors? Are they losing their leaves?
2. Take in deep breaths through your nose. Shift your awareness to your smell. What do you smell? Does it smell earthy? Do you smell the leaves around you?
3. Listen. What do you hear? Are there animals bustling around? Do you hear the leaves crunching underneath your feet?
4. Pick up a few leaves. How do they feel? Are they starting to decompose? Are they crunchy? What color are they?
5. Shift your attention back to walking. Feel the physical sensation of walking. One foot up, one foot down. Notice your feet touching the ground. How do you feel?
6. At the end of your walk, pause and take a moment. Stand still and take in a deep breath. Take a look around and notice your feelings.
