Plants in the Classroom: Successfully Starting Seeds
By Shelley Mitchell. Learn about how growing plants in the classroom is a great way to explore life cycles. Many teachers introduce plants to students by planting seeds in small pots and watching them grow. However, many students and teachers get frustrated when their seeds don't sprout (germinate), or the seedlings grow long and spindly. To increase the chances of success, there are several things you can do: choose the right seeds, use potting mix, plant at the correct depth, provide the right amount of moisture, provide warmth, and provide light in close proximity.
