The other day students from both 9D and 9E planted seeds in their designated plot. Seeds were counted and mixed with a small amount of soil. The soil was sprinkled evenly onto the ground after having pushed aside debris and grasses. Students completed the first part of their lab report. They will now research their plant, sow seeds in class this coming winter and return to the plot in the spring to see if their seeds were successful. Come spring, all students should have small native plants that can be re-introduced onto the NPG. At this time, they will also be able to identify non-native plants that can be removed by hand. These are small patches of the prairie, but it is a start and an authentic activity for students.
