Erin Sosebee's class, in conjunction with Washington Center’s Adaptive Environmental Science (AES) program, has been working with plants in a variety of ways. The objective of the activities over three weeks was to study the life cycle and growth of plants.

Students were given a choice of pumpkin, marigold or bean seeds. The class spouted seeds in plastic baggies with a damp paper towel, placed the seed baggies in a sunny area and observed the daily growth of the plants.

The plant activity continued with planting the seedlings in soil during AES class as further growth will be observed in the school’s greenhouse. Students will take the plants home in the spring.
