From Seed to Seed is a professional
development course designed for K-8 teachers who already incorporate
botany and gardening (indoors or out) into their science curriculum
and for teachers who would like to start doing so. You can work
sequentially through the entire course or jump to the sections that
will help you with specific concepts you would like to grasp or
teach to your students. There are no prerequisites; this course
will provide you with all the information you will need to get started.
In addition to the core botanical information, we provide activities
and experiments that address K-8 national standards in various disciplines.
Although the National Science Education Standards are emphasized
throughout the course, connections are also made to geography, health,
history, language arts, and mathematics.
The course content is divided into two parts: From Seed to Seed
and Exploring Plant Topics. The first part follows the life
cycle of a plant from seed to seed and lays the foundation for you
to learn about more complex and fascinating topics in plant biology
in the second part.
