Make teaching the Periodic Table easy for students in 3rd through 6th grade by attending this session that ties elements in the Periodic Table to nutrients plants and humans need. Students will learn the symbol for each of the essential nutrients in the Periodic Table, place it next to the plant from which it originates and then link it to the human body part it benefits most. Workshop participants will receive a copy of Florida Agriculture in the Classroom’s K-12 school garden curriculum Gardening for Nutrition which includes the lesson ‘In Search of Essential Nutrients’ which this activity is tied. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |
