Dive deep into the fascinating world of plant biology with the 'Window Display Garden Kit: Lima Bean Growth Journey & Educational Journal'. This innovative educational tool is meticulously crafted to offer young learners a tangible and interactive way to explore the life cycle of plants, making it an indispensable resource for educators, homeschooling paren

ts, and science enthusiasts. Designed to captivate and educate, this kit bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world observation, providing a comprehensive learning experience that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for nature.

At the heart of this kit is the window display garden, a clear, easy-to-setup module that allows students to plant and observe the growth of lima beans in real-time. This transparent approach not only demystifies the process of germination and plant development but also engages students in a daily discovery journey, watching as seeds sprout roots, shoot up stems, and unfurl leaves, all in the comfort of their classroom or home.

Accompanying the window garden is the 'Educational Journal', a carefully designed workbook that guides students through each phase of the lima bean's growth. From germination to maturity, the journal is filled with prompts, questions, and activities tailored to encourage detailed observation and thoughtful reflection. It serves as a personal logbook where students can record data, sketch their observations, and note changes, fostering a scientific mindset and enhancing their understanding of plant biology.

The integration of this kit into learning environments supports key educational standards and objectives, making science accessible and enjoyable. It prompts discussions about photosynthesis, ecosystems, and the importance of plants to human life, tying into broader curriculum themes and encouraging interdisciplinary learning.

Make reviewing the layers of the earth fun with this engaging hands-on 3D diorama science craft project! Students learn about earth layers and then decorate a shoe box based on what they learned! Students are responsible for decorating the box and putting a creative scene inside that represents the layers of the earth. Students love it when they get to do projects and make their learning come to life!

Here’s what you’ll get:

• colorful earth layers
• black and white earth layers
• black and white labels
• rubric for easy grading
• research page for students to record their learning
• planning page for students to map out how they want their diorama to look

What is a diorama?

A diorama is a three-dimensional scene built to illustrate a topic. Dioramas are small scenes created with layers of materials. A diorama can be made out of a shoe box or similar box that includes a variety of information and pictures about a topic.

Students create a diorama by cutting, coloring, painting, and gluing pieces inside the box to create a model that shows a situation, such as a historical event or animals in their natural environment. Students can be encouraged to add real features such as grass, sand, sticks, etc.

The dioramas do not come with specific assembly instructions. Students should learn about the layers of the earth first, and use the pieces within this resource to creatively build their own unique diorama! This is a fun way for students to learn and get hands-on with the lesson/topic.

Prep is quick and easy... print the pieces on cardstock for durability and let your students explore the water as an enrichment activity to your lesson plan.
