Think Spring
Spring has sprung. The Vernal Equinox (March 20, 2009) is one of the four great seasonal changes each year. It's the perfect time to explore plants in the classroom. Education World presents classroom lessons that involve students in growing things and learning about scientific classification, plant cell structure, the importance of plants in our history, and many uses of plants. Included: Links to more than a dozen additional lesson plans for teaching about plants and gardens.
