Description
Wanting to start a garden with your class? In Project Based Learning Gardening students plan a garden and experience a scarcity of space. Students use the PACED Decision Making Guide to decide what they should plant. If you don’t have a garden area you may choose to set your space as a beach towel. Students will take the seed packages and measure the amount of space each plant will take.
Students may use enlarged photos of plants to place on the beach towel to help them make their final decisions. Student learning is assessed by questions and a class discussion.
Concepts:
Economics: Scarcity, Opportunity Costs
Mathematics: Nonstandard Measurement, Area, Perimeter
Student Objectives:
The students will:
- Recognize that scarcity of space forces you to make decisions.
- Recognize that the items that are given up are their opportunity cost
- Recognize the opportunity cost of a choice is the value of the best forgone alternative.
- Use a PACED decision making process to determine what to put in their garden.
