Beschreibung

This resource presents a hands-on activity for students to explore sustainability and plant biology by creating plantable seed paper. Using shredded recycled paper, students make new sheets embedded with seeds that can later sprout into plants. The activity connects science, art, and environmental education while fostering upcycling and waste reduction. It aligns with STEM and sustainability education goals, encouraging students to think critically about their ecological footprint and the circular economy. The experiment allows students to understand the importance of paper recycling, material decomposition, and plant growth, making it ideal for cross-disciplinary learning.


Wie Sie diese Ressource nutzen können

This short-term, hands-on project engages students in creating plantable seed paper from recycled materials. Teachers facilitate discussions on sustainability, recycling, and the role of fertilizers in plant growth. Students then conduct experiments to observe how different types of seed paper affect plant development, fostering critical thinking and environmental stewardship.
