Free resources will be sent out by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to all State Primary Schools in Spring 2009 in a programme funded by the Wellcome Trust celebrating Charles Darwin's 200th birthday. The Great Plant Hunt invites school children aged 5-11 to explore the natural world around them in a series of activities, all clearly linked to the primary science curriculum. The Darwin Treasure Chests are packed with fun activities - which take place in the classroom, online and in the great outdoors - including exploring habitats, collecting seeds and growing plants.
