Plants for Space Teacher Workshop

In this hands-on workshop delivered by Plants for Space, teachers will experience an activity they can take back to their students. Investigate plant characteristics, consider evidence, make decisions and design a “green juice” for future space explorers.

Hear from scientists working on the Plants for Space project and discover how research into plants, nutrition and future food systems is helping address challenges in space and on Earth. Teachers will explore curriculum-aligned Plants for Space resources that use authentic science to build student curiosity, knowledge, inquiry and critical thinking. Leave with engaging activities and practical resources ready to adapt for primary and secondary classrooms.

As part of this program, teachers will explore the current Science Gallery exhibition, EMERGENCE[Y], that brings together artists, scientists, and collaborators from around the globe to explore how we adapt to a world in flux.
