Developing STEM Careers
Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), these activities look at career opportunities in plant biology, as well as useful classroom activities and practical investigations. The range of careers and activities covered include:
Inside STEM careers: research into plant pollinators
Investigating how flowers attract insect pollinators.
Inside STEM careers: investigating antioxidants
Rainforest plants, anticancer drugs and testing plants for vitamin C content.
Inside STEM careers: investigating habitats
Surveying habitats and seeing how they are linked.
Inside STEM Careers: cloning endangered plants
The Millenium Seed Bank and the conservation of endangered plant species.
Inside STEM careers: investigating antimicrobial properties
Obtaining medicines from natural and genetically modified plants.
Inside STEM careers: investigating organic foods
Organic farming and do organic crops taste better than non-organic crops?
