Website post: Burlington Science Center 2020 Cucumber Growing Challenge

Contest Introduction Video (also in link above): https://youtu.be/vpGGzwrj-Zo

Every other year the Science Center holds a growing contest for Burlington’s K-5 elementary students. 

This year’s contest is cucumbers! Typically, every classroom K-5 receives a greenhouse growing kit from the

center so each student can sprout their own plants to take home. Due to school closure, the Science 

Center will be doing a safe, no contact pick up of pots, soil and seeds for any interested families 

on Tuesday May 19th from 2-4pm at the front circle of the Burlington High School.  The Science 

Center will also hand out information about the challenge, growing tips and entry form. 

This challenge is also part of our remote learning assignment: 

Family Science Challenge: Plants: What do they need to grow?

All cucumbers will be weighed in the FALL by the Burlington Post Office and will 

receive an official stamp from the post office.  The cucumber cut-off “weigh date” 

will be Friday, September 25th.  All entries must be turned into the Science Center 

by email or interschool by mail Friday, October 2. We will award prizes for the heaviest 

and longest cucumber.  All growers who participate in the contest will receive a certificate 

and goody bag.  Good luck and don’t forget to take a picture of you and your cucumber plant 

for us to share! (no matter how big or small it is) https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/
