This activity teaches children about biodiversity and how to promote plant growth. By making seed bombs, they learn the importance of native plants in ecosystems and how to help the environment.
Embodied cognition occurs as children physically create the seed bombs, engaging them in a tangible action that represents environmental stewardship. This hands-on approach helps solidify the concept of ecosystems and encourages a personal connection to nature, aligning with Vygotsky's scaffolding principles.
