Spring is a great time to plant something and see how it grows or what it will turn into. Make a greenhouse, an ecosystem, or just learn about the best plants to grow with kids.

At the bottom of this page, you will find some books and YouTube videos that talk about the growth of the seed.

OBSERVE SOMETHING FOR SPRING STEM

Of course, when you plant something, you will end up observing it as well. These Spring STEM activities are more about observing the process of growing as opposed to the end result.

You will have a chance to watch the entire growth cycle of seed with a seed jar or experiment with the needs of a seed such as air, light, and water. Observe what happens each day. Measure growth.
