Walk-In Greenhouse Seed Starting Science Kit (15 × 7 × 7 ft) – Grow Seeds in Peat Pots & Soil, with Curriculum & Worksheets
Turn your backyard into a real plant science lab. Kids plant five different kinds of seeds in peat pots, then watch them sprout and grow inside their own walk-in greenhouse.
What's in the box
- Walk-in tunnel greenhouse, 15 × 7 × 7 ft, with a galvanized steel frame and green PE cover
- 8 mesh windows and a roll-up front door for ventilation
- 5 peat moss starter pots (3 in)
- 5 different varieties of seeds
- Soil for the starter pots
What kids will learn
Grades K–5
- Name what a seed needs to sprout: water, warmth and air
- Observe and draw how a seedling changes day by day
- Compare how five different kinds of seeds look and grow
- Explain why a greenhouse stays warmer than the air outside
Grades 6–12
- Explain the greenhouse effect: how sunlight is trapped as heat inside a covered space
- Track temperature and humidity inside vs. outside the greenhouse and graph the results
- Compare germination time and germination rate across five seed varieties
- Investigate how ventilation (opening windows and door) affects temperature and plant growth
Curriculum & worksheets
Grade-banded curriculum and worksheets are included and emailed to you after purchase.
