person icon workshops to help your children think scientifically about plants


leaf of a tree

The science topic 'plants' forms part of the national curriculum at Key Stage 1 and 2, in Years 1, 2 and 3. You may also wish to include plants as part of science topics for living things and their habitats. Whether you are just introducing the topic by teaching your children about common wild and garden plants, or delving deeper into how the roots and leaves transport water, and how pollination works, we have some great options.

These fun plant workshops allow your children to get hands-on with various experiments designed to put them in the role of young scientists! Help them identify various parts of plants, remember difficult scientific names, learning how to classify and analyse, and discover more about how plants form an important part of our environment.

Exploring the fascinating world of plants they will meet the learning objectives of the curriculum while increasing their knowledge of the natural world.


Plants Workshops


Why take your class on a trip, or bring a workshop into your school, to teach children about plants? Botany is a fascinating topic to study and can be anywhere from incredibly basic to mind bogglingly complex. At KS1 you do not need a biology degree to teach about the science of plants, but you are still introducing ideas that may be quite new to children who have not had much exposure to the natural world.

The plants workshops we feature can give your students interative sessions that will add real value to their understanding of the topic. You might want to get more familiar with a variety of plant species, or learn more about water and nutrient transfer, photosynthesis or seeds and fertilisation. Knowledgeable workshop leaders can help work with your classroom learning objectives to deliver a super fun and thoroughly engaging experience that will leave them big fans of the plant kingdom and championing biodiversity to anyone who will listen.
