Who is the How a Plant Grows poster for?
How a Plant Grows is filed under Kindergarten (ages 5–6), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting science, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.
When should you use the How a Plant Grows poster?
Plant a bean in a jar and mark off each stage as it happens. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so How a Plant Grows belongs on the wall where that science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with How a Plant Grows?
