The Aventura dos Sabores (Adventures of Flavors) continued in the months of October and November with great success and excitement at the school. After the missions phase of the project, in which the students researched the origins of their food and took visits to SINAL, they were able to apply the lessons in the "laboratory" and build the school's first garden. With the help of the SINAL team, the space behind the school was recuperated and the students spent a day transplanting the seedlings that they had planted at SINAL the month before. The math class was the lucky group to inaugurate the garden, so the math teacher had the students use the opportunity to measure and quantify the different amount of space needed between different types of plants (broccoli, collard greens, etc.) The class is now working to invent a practical irrigation system that will alleviate the burden of having to water the garden on a daily basis.
