Biodegradable Seedling Pots
Students build a biodegradable pot and plant a seed inside.
By making a seedling pot out of newspaper, you can reuse newspaper and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with landfills. The biodegradable pot helps protect a seedling's root system before it is transplanted. Seedlings can then be transplanted outside once they are stronger. The pot, along with its seedling, can be placed in the ground. As the plant grows, the newspaper will break down.
Students will be able to:
- Describe what seeds need in order to grow into healthy plants
