This experiment works due to a simple principle: plants need light. Build a shoebox maze and watch the plant work though the obstacle course, searching for sun.

The garden is the perfect place to practice math and science with preschoolers. Get digging (and counting, sorting, observing at the same time!)

Grow a garden with an environmentally-friendly twist by using plant scraps that usually get thrown away.

Why do plants wilt? Kids will learn to think critically about what environmental factors affect plants, and what plants need to survive.

Try this fun garden graphing project with your kindergartener this summer to give him a leg up in math and science while spending some valuable time outdoors!
