Teaching resources

This interactive 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 allows pupils to explore their natural environment looking for minibeasts.

This outdoor activity will see pupils collecting coloured items and can cover everything from science to literacy.

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

Pupils will make ‘magic potions’ from materials found outdoors and build on literacy skills.

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

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

A practical activity during which primary school pupils make mini-shelters from natural materials. 

This lesson encourages students to research rainforest organisms, discuss and group them based on characteristics.

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.

Practical science lessons get pupils creating their own fossils, which they then learn to excavate and identify.

This will support young people to respond confidently to the climate emergency and in a way that makes sense to them.

Over half a term, we explore the extraordinary bio-diversity 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. 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 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.

Creative writing and drawing activity inspired by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris's book 'The Lost Words'.

This is a fun and active way to reinforce students’ understanding of seeds and germination.

A history lesson, focusing on the role that the Second World War played in the loss of Britain's wildflower meadows.

A series of science lessons, focusing on the importance of wildflowers, sowing wildflower seeds and observing them grow.

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.
