Energy Garden offered 50 free classroom-based workshops to primary schools, where children learnt about solar power, electricity, plants and urban gardening.
The workshops were run throughout 2016.
There were a range of topics suited for both years 4 and 5:
‘Living plants and Habitats’ (linked with national curriculum)
Categorising plants, with real-life samples
Sew a seed to take home
Planting solar hanging baskets
Urban gardening
Creating circuits – how to make a buzzer buzz.
Experiments with solar panels
Graphs and numbers

If you know a school or teacher who would be interested in the Energy Garden project, and would benefit from a free workshop linked to the national curriculum, please contact info@energygarden.org.uk
