In groups, students will be given different seeds in order to plant a garden in the courtyard. Each group will research their plant types to learn about the different conditions that their plants thrive in. They will each submit a one page report explaining their findings. Together, students will plant their seeds. They will also need to keep track of the growth of their plants over time and record their measurements on a growth chart.

Pick one of the flowering plants we have discussed in class and create a magazine article explaining the proper ways to take care of this plant and what conditions this plant thrives in. Draw a picture of this plant and design a pot to hold it for the cover of your magazine.

List the four basic conditions that plants need for proper growth in order of importance. Support your reasons using no more than twenty-five words for each condition.
