Desktop Greenhouses - Mini Kit

Grades 3–8 (Mini Kit)

A small kit with big science! Students explore whether plants need light to grow by creating a mini desktop greenhouse. Perfect for classroom demonstrations or individual student experiments, this compact version makes it easy to bring plant science to life.

The mini kit provides just the right amount of supplies for a single demonstration, allowing teachers to introduce key concepts of photosynthesis, light energy, and plant needs before diving into a full class experiment. It’s an engaging way to spark curiosity and connect science lessons to real-world agriculture.
