The garden is used for nature studies by Mrs. Law's 7th grade science classes. During the school year, students choose a perennial plant to follow throughout the seasons and record the changes that they observe. Students seem to enjoy a chance to go outside and, as a side benefit, learn about weather, the metric system and the scientific method in a real-life setting. It beats reading in the classroom every time! |
