Budding botanist: Life cycles (years 3-4)

What do plants need to survive? What special tricks do plants use to grow and survive in different environments?

In this program your students will:

• wonder at plants growing in different environments, what do they need to complete a life cycle?
• discover seed, roots, stem, leaves, flowers and fruit and the role they each play in the life cycle of a plant.
• enjoy a game based on the life cycle of a plant.
• explore a variety of fruit, flowers, leaves and seeds under magnifying glasses.

You’ll also learn about the Australian National Botanic Gardens’ role in conserving threatened plant species.
