LMC 5th Graders Receive National Award for Botany Project

Mrs. Goshgarian's fifth-grade science class took part in a national program that connects science students with botanist mentors from around the country. During the project, small teams of students design a plant-based experiment and are given frequent feedback from their team’s botanist mentor via blogs and videos regarding their experiments- how to improve their methods, how to “dig” deeper and ask the big questions, and what the future may hold for their ideas. One of our project teams went on to be recognized by the leaders of PlantingScience as a “Star Project” team- an honor that is only awarded to around 8-10 teams nationally per semester! The winners of the Star Project award are Gia Munafo, Hargun Kaur and Keegan Collis. Their project, "Plants of the World!", can be viewed at https://www.plantingscience.org/psprojects/starprojectgallery
