EVEC Microgreens
Microgreens Toolkit – Primary School Children (13–14)
A structured 10-day classroom journey from seed to harvest for learners aged 13–14, combining science, nutrition, sustainability and teamwork. Open draft, feedback welcome.
Type: Education toolkit · Audience: Learners aged 13–14 · Status: Open draft, feedback welcome · Language: English · Cost: Free
A structured ten-day learning journey from seed to harvest, built for primary and lower-secondary classrooms. It combines science, nutrition, environmental awareness, creativity and teamwork through short, dynamic activities: games, simple experiments and creative challenges where students learn by doing, observing, measuring and reflecting.
Each day builds on the previous one, moving through germination, plant biology, healthy-eating concepts, sustainability discussion, data collection and finally harvest and presentation. It is designed to be ready to use, with illustrated step-by-step guides, experiment journals, printable activity sheets and facilitator notes.
