‘Mr Gobble’s Garden’

Students watch a short film set in a world where everything is made from repurposed objects; they learn what is needed to care for the plants in Mr Gobble’s garden, and how every element of nature (even those that might be considered as a pest) is important to keep the circle of life flowing. With a focus on the science of life and growth, each student will craft an ecosystem plant puppet and learn how to perform with it. Time Needed: Full day
