Your students will get excited for this activity which will have them hiding "plant" seeds around the class and finding the locations in your classroom of their peers' "seeds." In fact, take it from my grade 6's who begged me to make more activities exactly like this one... So I did. They try these out before you guys do and let me know what's fun - they've given this the seal of approval.

Your sneaky investigators will need to piece together the locations of the seeds in a cartesian garden, focusing on the first quadrant, ordered pairs and X and Y axes.

Included in this 7-page activity is:

• An explanation page which details how the activity works.
• A "collection" journal for them to track their findings.
• A "cartesian garden" for them to "plot" their seeds and rebuild the garden.
• An answer key.
• Enough printable cards for 28 students.

This works amazingly for a sub and takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour for the students to hide the seeds, find all 28 seeds, and plot them in their journal and then in their cartesian garden. It also works great around Earth Day, and can be easily done outside if you've got a great space and not too much wind ;)
