Fabulous Fungi Resources
Join us to discover the hidden world of fungi
We have worked with the Great Science Share for Schools to develop three learning resources about the fabulous world of fungi.
Check out the full set of activities and notes for teachers on the Great Science Share for Schools website.
There are separate activities for:
- Key Stage 1 (age 5-7)
- Key stage 2 (age 7-11)
- Key stage 3 (age 11-14)
For Key Stage 3 and beyond (14+) we also have a lesson plan inspired by The Last of Us: learn about parasitic fungi, stop the spread of a fungal infection, and discuss the role of the media in raising awareness of scientific topics
The Fantastic Fungi of The Last of Us
Each enquiry provides teachers notes, teaching slides, a supporting video and links to resources guiding pupils to work scientifically and find out more about Carl Linnaeus.
