Teresa Devore

Devore designed a hands-on project for English Language Learners (ELL) at Lower East Side Preparatory High School to figure out "What Did a Plant Do for Us?." Students will conduct experiments to observe the lifecycle of plants. The usage and purposes of plants will also be researched. This winning project will teach students the protocol for conducting relevant science experiments, reporting lab results, and horticulture. Students will learn about specific plant usage in different cultures throughout history. After experimentation, the plants will be sold to community members in efforts to raise money to award a scholarship to a student who hopes to study science in college. Devore resides in Brooklyn.
