Empathize
Students will use their senses, observations, and community experiences to learn what herbs are, how people use them, and why growing them well matters for a bread-sharing event. They will begin building science knowledge about plant parts and plant needs while gathering evidence from real places and people to understand what families and partners might need at the exhibition.
