One of the most amazing processes for youngsters to witness in class is the germination of a seed, and the subsequent growth of the plant. Here is a version of this classic lesson that is actually quite good! There is meaningful discussion held before the seeds are planted about what, how, and why germination takes place. I'd highly recommend this activity with all grades, don't just limit it to the little ones!
