SEWA Project for classes 9
:
Grow an aloe vera plant or basil plant and chart its growth. Provide pictures as evidence.
• Details of soil
• Preparation of manure/vermicompost
• Record of watering the plant (amount and intervals)
• Recording height per week
• Benefits of the plant
• 5 Commercial usages of the plant stating the amount used in each product with
photographs of the same.
Additional Elements for Project File:
• Photographs: Weekly progress of plant growth. ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHS MUST
FEATURE THE STUDENTS IN IT
• Charts & Tables: Watering schedule, height tracking, and benefits list.
• Reflection & Conclusion: Key learnings, challenges faced, and environmental impact
of growing the plant.
