Passage
Every Tuesday, Ms. Lin's class walks to the school garden to complete field observations. Students loosen compacted soil, remove invasive weeds, and measure how quickly the tomato vines climb their supports. They write notes about sunlight, rainfall, and insect activity in a shared logbook.
By the end of each month, the class compares data to explain which growing conditions helped the plants thrive. Their garden work is not only about harvesting vegetables; it is also a routine for practicing scientific thinking and responsible stewardship.
