Museum of Natural History - Plant & Animal Growth Workshop | HSAO

Explore how plants and animals grow with a guided workshop at the Museum of Natural History 🦎🌱. Together, we’ll look closely at real specimens, compare life cycles, and ask questions that turn curiosity into hands‑on learning.

Recommended for Grades 1/2/3

This interactive school program was developed specifically for students in grades two and three, based on the latest Atlantic curriculum outcomes. It encourages student participation in activities that show how native plants and animals develop and encourages students to compare and contrast those developments.

Step into the role of a botanist, conduct tests and record your results, engage with museum specimens and exhibits! Using engaging, hands-on activities, students will be introduced to the concept of lifecycles for both plants and animals. Starting with a group discussion, students will move through activities in small groups to discover what resources Nova Scotia plants and animals need to develop throughout their lifecycle stages.
