Granny's Great Amaryllis Race

The inspiration for this program came from a similar project at Denise Krane, Intervention Specialists at Brookpark Memorial School in Brookpark, OH.  Granny's Garden School developed the lesson plans.  Denise and her husband, Mike, came down from Clevelend to visit our gardens summer 2011.

Granny's Great Amaryllis Race brings beautiful blooms to the classroom in January and February.  Classes compete for the tallest, fastest growing, and first blooming amaryllis, while students develop data collection and interpretation skills as they measure and graph growth. Students draw on their knowledge about plant and bulb parts and processes learned during the fall season to form hypotheses to answer questions and form conclusions from their observations. 
Using a compass to determine if the classroom window is facing north, south, east or west
