Grow Labs - The Complete Indoor Gardening Station
Grow Labs —The Complete
Indoor Gardening Station Each unit
comes complete with everything you need to start growing
beautiful plants or starting seeds. All of the stands on
this page include lamps, fluorescent bulbs, plant trays with
a grid, a timer and a book dedicated to indoor light gardening.
Growlab: Activities for Growing Minds is a
curriculum guide offering dozens of ideas and activities relating to plants, gardening, and the diversity of life;
students can do the activities as they work on an indoor
classroom garden. The Growlab activities, which are presented
in 4 chapters, help students explore plants' basic needs
and structures, learn about plant life cycles and reproduction,
find out how plants adapt to different environmental conditions,
and learn how people both use and affect plants around the
world. Among the activities, for example, students observe
similarities and differences among plant leaves and consider
why leaves are important for most plants, conduct classroom
studies about acid rain, and try to simulate an indoor tropical
rainforest. The book also includes suggestions of horticultural,
conceptual, or topical themes for organizing plant-based
activities.
Some activities in Growlab are long-term projects; others
can be done sequentially as a series of shorter science explorations.
Each activity includes background information, step-by-step
procedures, a list showing time and materials required, cross-curricular
connections, and extensions. Appendixes offer a wide range
of information, including reproducible student activity sheets,
an annotated list of resource books, and suppliers of seeds
