Students are introduced to plant morphology, learn how to use simple atlases, guides and identification keys. Know the trees The classes feature flashcards for children, educational boards and direct contact with trees during walks along the forest educational route. Students learn how to tell a tree by its silhouette, leaf shape and fruit. Both conifers and deciduous trees are included in the curriculum. Plants and pollination The aim of this course is to introduce children to various types of flowers and methods of pollination. Both audiovisual equipment and direct observation of flowers and insects (in the meadows of the Forest Park) are employed. The function of wind and the phenomenon of self-pollination are also discussed. Plants and medicine Children are introduced to various species of medicinal plants, learn about how various parts of plants are used for medicine and about dangerous plants. How to tell an animal from a plant? Classes dedicated to the youngest students of elementary schools. Children learn about the characteristics of plants, birds, insects and mammals and are introduced to simple classification of the living world. ZOOLOGY The amazing world of insects The aim of this course is to teach children about the rich diversification of the insect world, introduce them to insect morphology and point out the interesting features of insect bodies (their eyes, wings etc.). Common species of insects are also introduced. The Fly - your friend or foe? Children watch microscopic sections and film materials, learn about the development of the fly and its function in nature, human life and the circulation of organic matter.
