In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Students at my school generally have a healthy diet already but were interested in how the vegetable plants grow.

“This was a high interest kit that had the students engaged from the beginning. The planting process was a little challenging as every person planting needed to wear a mask and gloves. This was difficult due to budget constraints so the teacher needed to do the planting. There were lots of cross curricular links that were possible as a result of this kit.”
