Sci Seedlets Online Teacher Workshop

Sci Seedlets Online Teacher Workshop - your chance to get involved with our STEM learning and teaching materials

Join us at University of Glasgow's Sci Seedlets Online Teacher Workshop 2026! Take a look at our CfE mapped educational resources for P4/5 and P6/7 and find out how Sci Seedlets lessons-in-a box can be integrated in your classroom teaching.

With funding support from the Edina Trust and the University of Glasgow this year, we will be giving out free of charge a number of the Sci-Seedlets kits in return for pre/post lesson pupil and teacher feedback.
If you are interested to participate in Sci-Seedlets 2026 initiative, attendance at this workshop is requested. The workshop is open for all staff/ teachers participating in Sci-Seedlets plant biology lessons between Aug-October 2026.
At the workshop we will go through what the kits can do, when you would receive them and when we'd want you to start and end the trials. Attendees will have an opportunity for the teachers to engage with the plant scientists and the Sci-Seedlets team at the University of Glasgow and ask questions.
