• Engaging Carrot Shape Theme: Discover the geometry hidden within gardening with the Carrot Geometry card! Explore questions like: Why are carrots typically long? Can carrots be round? Could you even grow a square carrot? Kids will investigate plant shapes, and how environment and genetics influence them, all while growing carrots.
• Hands-On, Kid-Friendly Learning: Keep children actively involved with a project that encourages observation, experimentation, and real-world application of STEAM principles, specifically geometric concepts of shape, space, and form, through carrot gardening.
• Flexible & Convenient: This card is perfect as a focused lesson or can be incorporated into a larger STEAM unit exploring geometric shapes in nature. The activity is designed to stand alone and adapt to various schedules.
• Diabetic- & Allergy-Friendly Recipes Included! A groundbreaking feature – the included recipe is carefully designed to be diabetic-friendly with labeled carbohydrate counts and includes detailed allergen information (nuts, dairy, gluten, etc.), ensuring inclusivity and health-conscious learning for all children, and a delicious way to enjoy the geometrically grown carrots!
• Comprehensive Facilitator Resources: Make implementation seamless with standards-aligned lesson plans, SEL & horticultural therapy connections, pre-made quizzes, surveys, reporting tools, and exclusive online facilitator materials designed to enhance the exploration of geometry through gardening.
• Horticultural Therapy for Wellness: This activity incorporates science-backed horticultural therapy practices, fostering mindfulness, patience, focus, and overall well-being through gardening, specifically through the engaging process of exploring geometric shapes in the plant world while growing carrots.

Discover the Carrot Geometry Card:

This card sparks curiosity and hands-on learning through a unique STEAM-focused carrot gardening activity centered on geometry:

🥕 Carrots & Geometry Card:

• 📚 Science & Math (Geometry Focus): Explore geometric shapes in nature and investigate why carrots typically grow long. Discuss different geometric forms and consider if carrots could be other shapes like round or square. Learn about plant genetics and environmental factors that influence shape.
• 💡 STEM Activity (Geometric Engineering): Experiment with shaping carrot growth! (Note: While truly "square" carrots are challenging without molds, kids can explore influencing shape through soil conditions, planting density, and even building simple guides in the soil to see if they can encourage different forms). Discuss how engineers consider shape and structure in design.
• 📐 Math (Geometric Measurement & Observation): Observe and sketch the shapes of their growing carrot plants (foliage and potentially root if carefully unearthed). Discuss geometric terms like lines, curves, cylinders, cones, and explore how these relate to plant forms. Measure different parts of the carrot plant and compare dimensions.
• 🌱 Observation & Recording (Shape Journal): Maintain a Shape Journal, documenting observations and sketches of carrot plant shapes, noting any variations and discussing possible reasons for shape differences (genetics, environment).
• 🧑‍🍳 Recipe (Geometric Carrot Creations!): Fun and healthy allergy-friendly and diabetic-friendly carrot recipes that encourage geometric food art! Think carrot sticks arranged in patterns, round carrot slices, or creative shapes cut from cooked carrots to reinforce geometric learning in a delicious way.

Perfect for Educators & Camps:

• Focused STEAM Activity (Geometry Theme): Use this card for a deep dive into a Geometry-focused STEAM activity centered around a single, engaging project exploring shapes in the plant world.
• Standards-Aligned & Easy to Implement: Activities are aligned with Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards, with readily available facilitator resources emphasizing geometric concepts.
• Promotes Inclusivity & Wellness: Diabetic- and allergy-friendly recipes and horticultural therapy connections make learning accessible and beneficial for all children's well-being, while exploring the fascinating geometry of nature.

Versatile & Convenient Learning:

• Flexible Scheduling: This card is perfect for a single lesson or afternoon activity, easily fitting into various program needs and timeframes focused on geometry exploration.
• Adaptable to Any Space: Activities can be conducted indoors or outdoors, in classrooms, homes, or camp settings, making geometric exploration accessible anywhere.
• Eco-Conscious & Sustainable: Promote environmental awareness through understanding plant needs and connecting with nature through carrot gardening, while appreciating the geometric beauty of the natural world.
• Healthy Habits & Delicious Geometric Recipes: Encourage healthy eating habits with a kid-friendly, plant-based carrot recipe featuring the grown ingredient, and reinforcing geometric concepts through food.
