Budding Botanists

Third-grade students at Unqua Elementary School had lots of opportunities to hone their science skills by predicting, classifying, measuring, observing and more during the “Budding Botanists” enrichment unit taught by Loree Moran. Students classified seeds they collected according to properties they determined and then observed them. As tree “detectives,” they learned to measure diameter and circumference, and then predicted and observed information about the life of the tree.
