Teaching resources

This interactive, KS1 lesson, uses augmented reality to contrast our human senses with the weird and wonderful sensory abilities of animals found in the rainforest.

Three primary science teaching resources, that are inspired by some of Eden's the plants and exhibits, developed in collaboration with Explorify.

This lesson plan, designed for EYFS and KS1, encourages pupils to explore their natural environment looking for minibeasts.

This outdoor activity, will see KS1 and 2 pupils, collecting colourful items from nature and can link everything from science to literacy.

An outdoor lesson, in which KS1 and 2 pupils, imagine a world without any light, drawing inspiration from the natural world.

Year 4, 5 and 6 pupils make ‘magic potions’ from materials found outdoors and build on literacy skills.

A science lesson challenging secondary school students to think more creatively about plants’ evolutionary adaptation.

Ideal for an outdoor-based autumn maths class, this lesson plan gets KS2 pupils using leaves to measure and calculate.

A practical activity during which lower KS2 pupils make mini-shelters from natural materials. 

This pair of KS2 lessons encourages students to research rainforest organisms, discuss and group them based on characteristics.

Your upper KS2 and KS3 pupils will learn to draw leaves, develop artistic skills and explore scientific ideas around human survival.

A geography focussed lesson which will see KS3 pupils explore how we use plants for food, medicine and materials.

A pair of KS2 practical science lessons that get pupils creating, excavating and identifying their own fossils.

This will support upper primary and secondary students to respond confidently to the climate emergency and in a way that makes sense to them.

Over half a term, lower KS2 pupils explore the extraordinary biodiversity of the tropical rainforests - with specific focus on the Amazon -and how we can work together to look after it.

Created with our friends at The Harmony Project, this 6 week enquiry explores the causes and effects of climate change. Upper KS2 pupils will discover that we all have a part to play as we work together for the well-being of our planet Earth.

This series of KS2 lessons uses the Eden Project’s Story-Inspired Learning approach to connect children with the biodiversity in their own school grounds and develop their understanding of the nature and process of scientific enquiry.

A series of creative writing and drawing activities designed for KS1, 2 and 3 inspired by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris's book 'The Lost Words'.

Designed for KS1 and 2, this is a fun and active way to reinforce students’ understanding of seeds and germination. 

Suitable for KS2, this is a history lesson, focusing on the role that the Second World War played in the loss of Britain's wildflower meadows.

This series of KS1 science lessons, focuses on the importance of wildflowers, sowing wildflower seeds and observing them grow. 

A single science lesson, suitable for KS1 and 2, focusing on the role that pollinators play in the process of reproduction in plants. This lesson also explores the impacts (both positive and negative) of human actions on a specific environment. 

Discover how plants found in the rainforest have adapted to succeed in a challenging habitat.

Resources for teachers to help create and make the most of these special habitats using science, creativity and celebration.
