Learn about what plant scientists take on a plant collecting trip and then pack for your own mission into the Botanic Garden. Pupils will navigate to different plants around the Glasshouses and wider Garden and learn about their adaptations for photosynthesis, pollination and seed dispersal.
Availability
This workshop is available all year.
Learning objectives
- Leaves have adaptations to help them photosynthesise effectively
- Flowers are crucial in flowering plant reproduction and use various methods to attract pollinators
- Seeds are adapted in differing ways depending on their dispersal method
- Use different methods to navigate
Curriculum links
This workshop supports the following sections of the science curriculum:
| Photosynthesis | the adaptations of leaves for photosynthesis |
| Reproduction in plants | reproduction in plants, including flower structure, wind and insect pollination, fertilisation, seed and fruit formation and dispersal
