Planting Sweet Potato Leaves

One day, a neighbour has given us a bunch of sweet potato leaves, and she advised me to grow some too as they're mild, tender, delicious and are extremely easy to grow.  I'm thinking of a hands-on way to teach kids about the life cycle of plants, although the seeds planting will be better because that process allows the kids to view the germination and root growth.  But, this's still a good start to focus on soil, water, air and sunlight requirements.  This's also helped Ian to refresh his study on Social Studies about "Plants"?
