About This Product
Playing fields are a familiar and accessible habitat for ecology projects. The 15 species in the guide were chosen as particularly good for projects, as they are fairly common and easy to identify. Some projects need pupils to identify every plant species in an area, but many can be done by looking at just one species.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Do pupils need to identify every plant in the area?
Not always. Some projects need all the species in the area to be identified, but many can be done by looking at just one species.
