Product Code : SCL-CLE-12915
The Field Study Council plants guide will help
11-14 year olds to design and carry out simple ecological investigations in a
familiar and accessible habitat.
Colour illustrations by Carol Roberts show a small
selection of plants common in playing fields and lawns. Also included is a
straightforward guide to leaf shape, flower shape and colour, plus other useful
identification features.
Playing fields can be a great place for science
investigations. The accompanying the takes students step by step through a full
investigation, from planning, recording in the field to considering their
results. A 'Further Investigations' section gives ideas for extension work.
This is also useful for ages 14-16.
For some projects pupils will need to identify all
the types of plants (species) in the area. But many projects can be done by
just looking at one species. We have chosen 15 species that are particularly
good for projects, as they are fairly common and easy to identify.
