Day 9 of Homeschool Science: Engineering Greenhouses - How well do you build?

This is an activity to help your kids learn how to engineer a greenhouse that can hold at least one plant and stand on it's own.

Pull out your recycling bin, dig up your tape, and heat up your glue guns (if you use them) - we're turning into Makers for science class!

Lesson Description

Greenhouses are great tools that help our gardens grow and thrive. They help baby plants stay warm, protect them from pests, and often ensure they have adequate light!

Not all greenhouses are human sized, however, and in our next science class we will be learning about the science of how greenhouses keep plants warm and protected, as well as put on our engineering hats to build our very own pint sized greenhouse!

Kids will be challenged to draw, refine, design, and build a project that stands on its own and has the ability for a plantling to be inserted or taken out! Bonus if a greenhouse can hold more than one plant!

Supplies: - Popsicle sticks - Ziplock bag or plastic wrap - Cardboard - Tape or glue - Plastic yogurt cup or item to be your plant pot - Scissors - Printout and pencil for planning your project
