Challenge students to act as landscape architects, designing an outdoor space (a park, school garden, or backyard). They can sketch a layout on paper or digitally using Sketchboard reviewed here or Draw.to reviewed here. They can choose appropriate plants and consider climate, soil, and sustainability factors. Students can learn a hands-on horticulture skill by propagating plants from cuttings (growing a new plant from a leaf or stem). They can track growth over time and discuss how horticulturists use propagation in nurseries and greenhouses. Then, students can collect soil samples from different areas and test pH levels and nutrients. They can predict which soil type would best support plant growth and relate findings to careers in agriculture and landscaping. Have your students design an eco-friendly garden that conserves water, supports pollinators, and reduces environmental impact. They should consider elements like native plants, rain gardens, and composting.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

What is the nutritional value of your juice or smoothy? Use these calculators to find the number of calories and view a nutrition facts label using your specifications. In addition, each calculation provides meters that compare your juice's sugar content to a cola drink or Gatorade and shares a comparison vs. keto-friendly guidelines. Use the dropdown box under "Tools" to find the smoothy calculator.

In the Classroom
Include this calculator with nutrition lessons and engage students in learning by allowing students to explore independently. Ask them to input some of their favorite vegetables and fruits to learn about how they impact the number of calories, fats, or sugars in a drink. In math class, ask students to investigate how these calculators work and develop their own formulas for finding the nutrient value in drinks and smoothies. Enhance learning by having students create infographics about nutrition using Canva Infographic Maker, reviewed here. Include an image of the nutrient label created using the calculator, along with advice for creating tasty yet healthy juices and smoothies. Extend learning by creating a class recipe ebook with Book Creator, reviewed here. Include each student's recipes and nutrition labels along with links to videos and audio created and shared by each individual.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
