Let’s dive into the magical world of fungi. Learners will discover that fungi are essential organisms in our ecosystem, found everywhere from the air and soil to water and even inside plants and animals!
Children will explore the unique characteristics of fungi, learning about their anatomy and how they absorb nutrients from their surroundings instead of making food through photosynthesis like plants.
Learners will make spore prints and are encouraged to go on a nature walk to locate and identify fungi in nature. By the end of the lesson, children will be able to identify multiple species of fungi, appreciate their importance in nature, and be inspired to protect these incredible organisms and their
ecosystems.
