About this course
Grow It K to 2 is a free 12-week online plant science and gardening course for Kindergarten to Grade 2. Kids sprout a bean and watch its roots and shoot, learn what each plant part does, test what plants need, meet bees and worms, and plan a little windowsill garden with Rocket, Raven and Nova. Lessons are read aloud, every answer is a tap, and a daily Word Spot practices sight words. Saturday is Grow It Day with the family.
12-week list
Each week has short lessons Monday to Friday and a Grow It Day with the family on Saturday.
