Pollination and seed dispersal within the life cycle of flowering plants.
Students venture into the forest to follow the lifecycle of a flowering plant. They visit a working nursery where children discover seeds and explore seed dispersal, then pot up a seedling of their own.
Within the magnificent forest of Arataki, students are introduced to the concepts of photosynthesis, biodiversity and pollination through games and activities.
