High School Garden Curriculum

[Abbi Marrs]

Good morning, 

  I work with a cooperative extension and am looking for some good garden curriculum to use for high school students.  I know of a lot for ECE through 8th grade, but any suggestions for beyond are greatly appreciated.

Hi! 

I've found these two books to be great resources for HS garden curriculum:

"Garden Genetics: Teaching With Edible Plants" (Teacher Edition) by: Elizabeth Rice, Marianne Krasny, and Margaret E. Smith

"A Resource Guide to Year-round Gardening" by Larry Cipolla (includes hydroponics lessons for winter gardening)

I also like Gizmos simulations for experiments with germination and studying the effects of compost, water, temperature, and light.

Here are standards-based soil lessons from Kids Gardening: https://www.mastergardenersd.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Soil-Science-Lesson-Plans-Activities-and-Science-Standards.pdf

Here is the list of Middle and High School lessons that are linked to from the SGSOnetwork.org/lessons page

There is a wide range of materials like the Huntington's Plant Science Units and UC Davis's sustainable ag concepts.

Thank you all for your responses!  I certainly have some great information to share with my state lead to look into this further.

Lauren-

Do you have more information on the Larry Cipolla book?  I can find other titles by him, but not that one.

Thanks-

Shauna

Hi All!

I just wanted to share a direct link to the Digging into Soil Guide that Joelle shared out from KidsGardening:

https://kidsgardening.org/digging-into-soil/

You can also use the "Explore Our Resources" function on our lesson page at:  https://kidsgardening.org/resource-lesson-plans/  (just click on "Grade") to just view ones appropriate for high school.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Sarah
