Sebastian
Agriculture STEAM Kit
from Brown Toy Box is an activity kit for students interested in agriculture. Join
Sebastian who does a great job growing plants and food. He has a real green
thumb! The kit comes with an activity book that begins with a short biography
of two successful African Americans who worked in the food industry. Your
student will learn some farming terms and complete activities (crossword
puzzle, maze, and word search) that use farm terms and include the answers.
Kids will enjoy experimenting with the plant growth process that comes with the
kit and will learn about weather ecology, wind direction, rainfall monitoring,
earth water cycle, plant ecology, seed germination, and record findings. They
will be planting and growing four different seeds and recording their growth
trends. A foldable farm scene and a cardboard cut-out of Sebastian makes it all
complete and so much fun! ~Amber
