Where the wild things grow is a teacher resource designed to achieve biological understanding outcomes, based on current photosynthesis research. It encourages students to explore the concepts, starting with a time honoured tale – ‘Where the wild things are’ by Maurice Sendak. The unit contains five lessons including an inquiry based investigation, easy to set and see science displays, word games, practical activities and maths learning activities. The unit includes a worksheet to assist in implementing a modified version of the scientific method. Also included are researcher profiles to directly link your classroom to the research.
