Gardening For Science

Gardening can be a great tool for homeschoolers.  Increasing amounts of schools are including gardening projects, and families can enjoy gardening together (and learn while they're doing it). 

Gardening is beneficial in a lot of ways, but is especially good for teaching science.  It can be used for students of any age and level and adapted to their needs.  It's a great way to include hands-on and outdoor elements to lessons.

Here's a handout I created for a gardening project that I did with a homeschooled Year 9 student.  Click here for the assignment.

Here's another cool site about science and gardening.
