Launching The Great Plant Hunt (HD) | A film by the Wellcome Trust

Charles Darwins 200th birthday was the catalyst for a series of initiatives from the Wellcome Trust to provide schools with free science activities inspired by Darwins theory of evolution. The Great Plant Hunt was one such project, and in March 2009 Sir David Attenborough delivered a treasure chest, the first of the new science kits, to St Jude's CE Primary School in Lambeth, South London.

By the spring, all British state primary schools will have received their own treasure chest full of exciting classroom and outdoor assignments for pupils of each year group to carry out, the activities show how Darwins ideas are vital to our understanding of the natural world.
