First Day at Columbia Heights: Planting Microgreens.

The first day, we did the planting of microgreens lesson with the peas and sunflower seeds. Alisha and I demonstrated to the class how to plant the seeds by planting one side filled with peas and the other with sunflower seeds. Half of the class had never planted before, so we had to help the students along the way when they we planting in groups. We also asked the students to make scientific observations of the microgreens once they begin to germinate. Alisha and I did a quick lesson on what germination means, what is microgreens, and what a plant needs in order to germinate. The class enjoyed our lesson and glad we had enough time to do all of these activities with them!
