Help your child recognize and understand that plants grow when they receive the right amount of sunlight, food, and water by starting a garden. This garden can be outdoors or indoors in containers (e.g., terrarium, egg carton, paper towel in a plastic bag). Extend your child’s STEM learning by charting plant growth each day.
