The Value of OzoGrows in the Classroom

1. OzoGrows & Learning: According to a study by Emily J. Ozer, school gardens can be a powerful tool for enhancing student health and well-being, as well as strengthening the overall school environment.
2. OzoGrows & Integrated Education: A study by Jay B. Labov, Ann H. Reid, and Keith R. Yamamoto emphasizes the importance of integrating biology into education. With OzoGrows, we’re making biology a hands-on, engaging experience. Students won’t just learn about plants; they’ll grow them, care for them, and see the life cycle in action.
3. OzoGrows & Healthy Habits: Mary Story, Marilyn S. Nanney, and Jamie F. Chriqui’s research highlight the role of schools in promoting healthy eating and physical activity. OzoGrows aligns with this mission by introducing students to the process of growing their own food, fostering an appreciation for healthy, fresh produce, and encouraging healthier eating habits.
4. OzoGrows & Innovative Teaching: Kimberly D. Tanner and Deborah H. Allen’s study discusses the challenges and importance of innovative course design. OzoGrows is a testament to this innovative spirit, offering a unique, hands-on learning experience that can be integrated into various aspects of the K-8 curriculum.
5. OzoGrows & Scientific Literacy: Michael R. Dougherty’s research emphasizes the need for a scientifically literate public. OzoGrows contributes to this goal by providing students with a practical understanding of plant biology, fostering scientific curiosity and literacy from a young age.
