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 microscopes.

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

Please note our required 1 teacher : 18 students ratio. If your booking has more than 18 students, it will be split on arrival and there must be a teacher with duty of care with each group of students.
