There’s never been a better time to get involved in The Great Plant Hunt and enjoy fun and free educational activities in the classroom, online and outdoors. There are plenty of things to see and do now or you can plan the project into your spring and summer term activities. The project is clearly linked to the national curriculum and can be used as a resource to link your teaching to the theme of ‘Earth’ for National Science and Engineering Week (12-21 March 2010) and the International Year of Biodiversity in 2010.
Treasure chests went to all UK state maintained primary schools in March and since then thousands of children have been plant hunting. It’s easy to get involved by accessing everything you need to take part on the website including all the teaching resources and extras such as films and interactive games – visit www.greatplanthunt.org
