Getting to grips with plant science and their importance to our ecosystem
In celebration of British Science Week, we’re going to tell you all about plants, their structure, the process of photosynthesis and how bees and insects play a massive part in pollination and growing our food.
We’ve also written a children’s guide to growing fruit and vegetables, so take a look and get planting!
Children’s guide to growing fruit and vegetables
Planning activities for the children and getting them to eat enough fruit and vegetables can be tricky. So, we’ve come up with a fun solution to achieve both — a fruit and vegetable growing cheatsheet for kids!
This downloadable and printable guide teaches children a valuable life skill, gets them outdoors and encourages healthy eating. If children know where their food comes from and have had a hand in growing it, they’ll be more excited about eating it.
The International Year of the Periodic Table
The periodic table is one of the most significant achievements in science which captures the essence of chemistry, physics and biology. On the 20th of December 2017, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed that 2019 will be the 150th anniversary of the periodic table and has therefore been named the ‘International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements’ (IYPT).
IYPT is a celebration of scientists, their members and their communities. It’s a way of working with their communities to engage people in the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the periodic table. The RSC are holding activities throughout 2019, including public lectures, teacher resources, public outreach, themed journals and books, and grants to fund IYPT activities and communities.
