Explorify in the Garden with the Wellcome Trust
Event Information
About this Event
The RHS has teamed up with the Wellcome Trust to develop this one-day course based on the innovative "Explorify" approach to learning science, set in the context of school gardens.
"Explorify in the Garden" is a practical course that will give you the confidence to take the primary science curriculum ourdoors and make fully use of the rich tapestry of opportunities that nature, plants and growing provide. Experience how to work with the fascinating digital images and videos from the Wellcome collections, from an RHS "real world" perspective.
Objectives of the course:
- Work with Explorify resources developed by the Wellcome Trust
