Our classroom sessions are designed for 4-6th graders and cover topics including local biodiversity threats, effects of carbon dioxide emissions, and the science behind Super Plants. Students grow and track their own Super Plants after planting them in their school, home, or community garden. Thanks to the OurEcho Challenge through EarthEcho all sessions and materials are free.     

​

Session Materials:

• 20 California Melicgrass seeds per student.

• Student and teacher guides with a letter to students about Project Super Plants and the urgency of taking action, information about threats to biodiversity and the effects of CO2 emissions, the science behind Super Plants, and extension activities.

• Planting instructions for growing Super Plants.

• Tracking forms for students to record the growth of their plants.

• Access to both hardcopy and online versions of materials.

​

Our classroom sessions are around 45 minutes long. Students then water and track their plant until it is full-grown (about one month).
