Virtual Seed Survivor Presentation
This interactive learning experience encourages children in GRADES 3-4 to master the elements that plants need to grow.
PROGRAM INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION:
Seed Survivor is a free, curriculum-based, agricultural program for elementary students with a focus on Grades 3 and 4. Last year we planted approx. 100,000 sunflower seeds with students across Canada and the United States.
After participating in the Seed Survivor Program, students leave with an understanding that plants need water, light, healthy soil and nutrients to survive. They also learn about where their food comes from and the importance of agriculture to their daily lives. All participants get to plant a sunflower seed to take home and grow!
