Fun with Food WEEK THREE (vegetable and herb seeds)

This week we learned about plants. We ate apples (plants) until we could take out the seeds. We looked at the structure of a plant- what part is above the soil and what part grows below. Then we looked at different types of vegetable seeds, comparing the sizes and textures of them and how they are each planted differently. Some get planted in Summer, some in Spring, some 1/4" deep, some 1" deep. Then we talked about how you can eat that vegetable. 

Everyone got a planting pot and a packet of herb seeds to grow at home. Hopefully they will get planted and watered and loved to see the sprouts pop out of the soil!
