At BES, sixth-grade students have undertaken an interactive learning experience centered on seed germination. By germinating their seeds and nurturing their own salad in the classroom hydroponic garden tower, they developed a deeper understanding of the process. This project was celebrated with a tasting party, where students relished a salad featuring their freshly harvested lettuce during lunchtime.
