Online Resources For Teachers

Because biodiversity is increasingly threatened – and future generations are key to reversing or slowing this trend – Klorane Botanical Foundation is working alongside primary school teachers and giving them various resources to help create lessons and activities on nature.

All the materials made available here are PDF versions of the physical resources included in the Budding Botanist School Kit, 1,500 copies of which were distributed at the start of the 2021-2022 school year in France.

What would introducing botany into your classroom look like?

Adapted to school children aged 9–11 and in line with school curricula, all our teaching materials encourage pupils to develop a more global vision of the plant world (its richness, its intelligence, its connections to living things as a whole, threats to biodiversity, different ways of protecting it...). There are also plenty of opportunities for group debates, alongside fun and practical activities.

For teachers: a user guide for the various resources is available

Activities have all been designed in a modular fashion. It’s up to individual teachers, depending on their term teaching plans and the level of interest shown by pupils, to decide how much time they want to allocate to each topic.
Activities can be used for standalone sessions. Even where logical links exist between resources, they can lend themselves to individual sessions.

But that's not all... there’s also the Budding Botanist Interactive Quiz for ages 6-10

True or false questions, riddles, a quiz... everything needed to discover the wonders of the plant world.

From the life cycle of plants to how humans can use them, as well as the role of ecosystems, this interactive game helps raise awareness among even the youngest minds of the challenges facing biodiversity!
