Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS): Primary Resources
Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS) works with teachers to help them to bring plant science alive. This is done by working with curriculum developers, producing useful teaching resources, enabling teachers to share ideas, and encouraging plant scientists to get involved in education and outreach.
The resources in this collection for primary school children aim to give them an understanding of the importance of plants in the world and an awareness of the relevance of plant science to modern life.
Plants not only create the atmosphere we need to breathe, but form the basis of the food we eat, the fuel we use to live and work, the clothes we wear, and many of the medicines we use. They are also fascinating organisms that have developed some beautiful and canny ways to survive in the world.
