In this experiment, the greenhouse effect is first explained in writing. In the experiment that follows, the pupils discover the effect that carbon dioxide has on air temperature (the atmosphere).
Grasscycling is the natural recycling of grass by leaving grass clippings on the lawn when mowing.
Waste characterisation involves analysing the types of waste generated in a specific area to understand what is being thrown away and how it can be managed more sustainably.
Liquid plant feed is an organic fertiliser made by soaking nutrient-rich plants in water to release their minerals and nutrients.
Some food waste such as meat, fish, and dairy products should not be composted in most conventional composting systems.
Using a digital learning environment, pupils explore various green wall systems and plant species. For this activity, plant identification apps or existing green wall models can be used.
In this experiment, the pupils measure the effect that ‘green facades’ have on the heating of surfaces (facades).
Sometimes you may need to remove grass sods grass with roots and attached soil when creating a wildflower meadow or carrying out other landscaping projects.
Where there are plants, there is a need for compost. Compost has so many uses you will never run out of ways to use this black gold!
Pollinating insects need food, and will be most visible when they are visiting flowers, but they also need suitable places to shelter and to successfully reproduce.
Leaf mould is compost made by allowing autumn leaves to decompose in the presence of air and moisture.
Creating and managing a wormery is an efficient method of turning kitchen waste and small amounts of garden waste into nutrient-rich compost and a concentrated liquid fertiliser.
As part of the ‘Photosynthesis’ experiment station, pupils use the inquiry-based learning method to investigate the research question: ‘How does plant photosynthesis affect the composition of the air?’.
Through two different experimental approaches, pupils learn about the phenomenon of transpiration in plants. The cooling effect resulting from transpiration is also covered in the text.
Sometimes you may have large amounts of logs, branches and other bulky woody materials that will not easily compost. A useful and often elegant solution can be a rough compost pile or a dead hedge.
