Second graders are well on their way to designing their own plant package. We've had great discussions on what the functions of our plant package should be. We have thought in depth about the needs of both the plant and the consumer who will take care of the plant.
Since a plant needs water to stay alive, we must think about a material that is absorbent so the roots can stay healthy. Since plants need light to make their own food, we must think about light being able to be transmitted through the package through either holes or a transparent material. Check out the possibilities of materials below!
