STEM/Garden Workshops
Our workshops all take place on the Dumfries House Estate.
All Primary
In our Weather Watchers and Working with the Weather workshops, pupils will explore how the wind direction and speed influences our weather and measure the energy available in the wind before reporting it to the Met Office. In the garden, they'll explore how the weather affects our plants and our food before thinking about ways a gardener must work with the weather to make sure all their plants are healthy.
Secondary
In the education garden, pupils will investigate how our woodlands contribute to weather function and discover creatures that depend on our native woodlands, and why. Heading out on the Dumfries House Estate, they will carry out a woodland condition assessment to find out how we care for the trees on our doorstep. At the STEM centre pupils will have the opportunity to develop their knowledge of photosynthesis and the carbon cycle by undertaking field measurements to calculate carbon storage in trees and how they play an important role in mitigating climate change.
