Alpine Plants in Trouble (Key Stage Two and Key Stage Three)

Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) have created resources based on climate change. This activity considers the effect of climate change on plants which live within a set of environmental conditions.

Following a discussion about alpine plants, students participate in an activity in which they represent different plants living on Mount Kenya. As the climate warms students decide where to move to. Discussion and further reading helps students consider the wider implications of climate change on alpine plants.

HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment. Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date. Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work. Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
