Scientists at Fera are looking for feedback from teachers on a new draft eZine all about plant health, and we would love to help them gather views from the STEM Community. The eZine has been created for GCSE and A level students and covers a wide range of plant health topics, including pests, diseases, diagnostics, insects, bacteria, fungi, viruses, seeds and trees. It uses a bright, illustrated format to introduce students to the science behind plant health and the careers linked to it.
This is still a draft version, so some of the illustrations are finished while others are still in sketch form. At this stage, Fera are particularly keen to hear from teachers about the language used, the level of the content and how well it works for the intended age group. The project has been developed with different curricula in mind, so feedback from teachers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would be especially useful.
If you have a few minutes to take a look, please do. It is a great opportunity to help shape a resource before it is finalised and to make sure it works well for the classrooms it is intended to support. To view the eZine click the image below:
