10 BIODIVERSITY, OCCURENCE OF ORGANISMS AND THEIR EXTINCTION IS THE RESULT OF EVOLUTION

Activity 2: Excursion to a selected area and presentation of medicinal herbs

WORKSHEET Workshop


The teacher chooses a suitable location for the excursion according to time and space options. There is no need to go far; just walking out in front of the school or the schools grounds will suffice. The teacher prints the worksheets and explains to pupils that plants have a generic and specific name, in the same way as pupils have a first name and surname.

The teacher takes the identification keys and atlases with him/her and divides pupils into groups. In groups, pupils determine the plant with the help of a teacher, and in the key or atlas they search for the plant´s inclusion in the family.
