Care for a Weed

The Care for a Weed activity will encourage your children to challenge the norm and argue against a popular opinion. Are weeds really just plants growing where they aren’t wanted? Discuss!  

An inspiration that can take one lesson or inspire a longer project. All your class needs is an outdoor place to explore and some good arguments! This idea is part of Explore Outside the Classroom and has been brought to us by Mission:Explore.

This activity is simple, fun and can be done by anyone! Parents, why not try this out at home too?
