Submission Required
Students study plant cards, seed packets, and sample photos to sort possible garden plants by visible traits, scientific name parts, and learning uses for the outdoor science lab. The teacher models how prefixes, suffixes, and morphology clues can help students predict plant features and care needs. Teams build a color-coded idea board that links plant choices to themed zones such as pollinators, weather observation, shade study, or water-wise plants.
