How do they grow?

EDCI 4000 student puppeteers

How do plants grow, and what help do they receive from the sun and rain? Children at the UW Early Child Care and Education Center learned about energy and its role in plant growth during a puppet show written and performed by students enrolled in the College of Education's spring 2009 "Environmental Education for Teachers" class. Students collaborated on creation of the script, tailoring their message to their pre-kindergarten audience. The pre-service teachers also spent part of an afternoon helping the center's children set up and plant a small garden at the facility. Following the show are (front row, left to right) Bonnie Cummins, Laura Willson, (standing, left to right) Cody Pate, Beth Fernstrom, Amanda Reimer, Lindsey Neelands, and Liz Masie.
