Second graders at Lawrence Primary School in Mrs. Paulette’s class are bringing science, math, and literature to life through gardening! 🌱
Before vacation, students were measuring, studying worms, and learning how they help keep our soil healthy. Now, they’re building on that knowledge with presentations from Maine Ag in the Classroom and exploring an exciting new concept—plants don’t even need soil to grow!
Using their own hydroponic garden tower, students are discovering how plants get nutrients from water, observing how the circulation pump works, and even testing water to ensure proper pH levels. This hands-on learning experience highlights the importance of curiosity, problem-solving, and real-world connections as students deepen their understanding of how things grow.
