Sunlight and Shades of Green
Summertime is all about sunshine! We soak up the suns rays while we play at the beach or run through the sprinkler. Sunshine lifts our spirits, enables our bodies to produce Vitamin D, and it also grows the food that we eat. All plants need sunshine to grow; it enables them to produce their own food in a process called photosynthesis. Use Project Learning Tree’s “Sunlight and Shades of Green” to explore the process of photosynthesis. Choose a tree, bush or plant in your garden and watch what happens to a leaf when you cover it with cardboard.
Family Fun:
Harness the power of the sun to make sun prints! Gather construction paper, tape and objects to print (I recommend different kinds of leaves). Tape the objects to the construction paper and set in the direct sun for several hours. Remove the object and tape – viola! You now have a sun print!

Pass the Plants, Please
Don’t wash the dirt from last week off your hands yet! We’re going to keep digging in the dirt this week with Project Learning Tree’s “Pass the Plants, Please”. Many people garden during the summer and we all know that tomatoes, zucchini and potatoes come from plants. But what about tortillas? Fried rice? Or spaghetti? They all come from plants too, just like many of the other foods we enjoy. Explore what a big part plants play in your daily diet this week!
Family Fun:
Spend some time in your garden! Or if you don’t have a garden, grow some herbs in a pot in your kitchen, or a tomato plant on your patio. Observe how the plants grow. Reflect on all the uses humans and animals get from plants. Pull a few weeds and get your hands dirty!

June is Great Outdoors Month! That means it is time to put down the video game, turn off the television and head outside! This month we will be celebrating getting kids outside to explore, observe and get their hands in the dirt. Research shows that good old-fashioned dirt contains a variety of microbes, bacteria and viruses that are actually good for kids by helping boost their immune systems. Use Project Learning Tree’s “Soil Stories” to explore different kinds of dirt. Go get your hands dirty!
Family Fun:
Trying growing sunflower seeds in different kinds of soil, such as loam, clay soil, sandy soil, and silty soil, then observe which kind of soil the seeds grow best in.
