Science and Plants for Schools

Science and Plants for Schools (SAPS) creates opportunities for teachers, technicians and students to find out more about plants and to become more interested in plant science.

We believe young people should understand the importance of plants and be aware of the relevance of plant science to modern life. Plant scientists are working at the forefront of biology, investigating how to create sustainable food & fuel supplies for the global population, protect biodiversity for future generations, and deepen knowledge of how organisms evolve & develop. We need to ensure that we inspire the next generation of plant scientists to continue this work.

We know that good teachers and technicians can bring plant science alive and we want to help them. We do this by working with curriculum developers, producing useful teaching resources, enabling teachers to share ideas, and encouraging plant scientists to get involved in education.
