Materials and Prep

• Pen and paper
• Access to a garden or park
• Curiosity and enthusiasm!

No prior knowledge required, just come ready to learn and have fun!

Activities

• Nature Scavenger Hunt: Head out to your garden or a nearby park and find different plants and insects. Observe them closely and jot down your findings.
• Plant Observation: Choose a plant in your garden and observe it every day for a week. Record any changes you notice and try to explain why they might be happening.
• Make a Mini Terrarium: Create a small terrarium using a clear container, soil, small plants, and some pebbles. Observe how the plants interact with their environment over time.

Talking Points

• Plants and animals are living things. They grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment.
• "Plants and animals are like us, they need food, water, and air to survive."
• Plants make their own food through a process called photosynthesis using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
• "Plants are like little chefs, they cook their food using sunlight!"
• Animals come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny insects to huge elephants. Each has its own special features to help it survive.
• "Just like how you have your own unique talents, animals have special features that make them amazing!"
