How successful was this kit in promoting student ability to identify vegetables? The children learnt about so many vegetables they hadn't heard of before. And one Chinese girl in my class recognised a lot of vegetables she eats at home and could tell the class about them.

“The kit was amazing. The children learnt so much about different kinds of vegetables. They tended to them with a spray bottle of water everyday and we recorded which vegetables grew the fastest and which ones took their time. They were very surprised by the snow peas as they grew sideways around all the other pots!”
