The Mutant Plants workshop is offered to 5th and 6th grade primary school groups at the CRAG facilities. The aim of the workshop is to bring students closer to the function and the usefulness of plant science and to the scientist’s methods in a fun way.
In the workshop, boys and girls will learn to recognize some characteristic aspects of plant research, such as the use of model organisms. Using mutant plants and laboratory material like binocular magnifiers, students will have to work like real scientists, watching carefully, making their own hypothesis and reaching consensus conclusions. The workshop is complemented by a visit to the CRAG facilities guided by research personnel.
At this time, the registration period for the 2022/23 school year workshops is closed. Stay tuned to the CRAG website and social networks for news on the registration opening, or subscribe to the distribution list and we will notify you by email.
