Budding botanist (years PS-2)

What role do seeds, roots, stem, leaves and flowers play in the life cycle of a plant? How do these features of a plant help them survive?

In this program your students will:

• wonder at plants growing in different environments, what do they need to survive?
• discover the structure of living plants in the Gardens, discuss their roots, stem, leaves, flowers and fruit.
• 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.

Note: your students will be encouraged to touch different plants, please let us know if you would not like this to occur.
