Question: Can you recommend any websites for children that are really into plants, nature or science generally?

Hi, Yes there are lots of resources out there that can show you science in a different way e.g. through games or videos. Before I mention those websites I would like to point you to a really great podcast/website called ‘In defence of plants’ – This is short information clips about all different plants around the world. It is so interesting and funny too! Listen to it with your parents and they can learn somethings too! http://www.indefenseofplants.com/podcast
In general, YouTube is great for showing lots of different science tutorials, experiments and cool projects you can get involved with. If you are struggling in any way on a subject or just fancy understanding something, type in keywords like ‘science’, ‘biology’, ‘experiment’ or ‘photosynthesis’. There are lots of websites that are good too, depending on age and learning style. Here I have listed a few: https://wowscience.co.uk/, https://www.science-sparks.com/, https://edheads.org/ , http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/ . You can also visit websites made more for revising such as https://www.bbc.com/bitesize . They have lots of great games and interactive activities. Lastly, if you want to know more about our wildlife, plants, and nature these websites are good for keeping up with the latest information: the RSPB website: https://www.rspb.org.uk/ and the WWF https://www.wwf.org.uk/ .Have fun learning!
