Applications open for schools in Wales

Climate-change study in your own school yard.

Practical, scientific investigation aimed at ages 8-11. 

Make use of your outdoor classroom! Join the 175 schools taking part in this exciting investigation.

Spring Bulbs for Schools provides primary school pupils with the opportunity to adopt, study and record the development of spring bulbs as part of a spring watch network. Each pupil will receive a Tenby daffodil, crocus bulb and garden pot to record growth and flowering times. Each school will also receive a rain gauge and thermometer, to record daily weather readings.

Through collecting and comparing real data pupils discover how our changing climate is affecting our seasons and what this means for ourselves and the nature around us. Pupils take part in Professor Plant's challenges to receive Super Scientist certificates. 

Any schools in Wales can take part as results are collected digitally. This is an on-going investigation, meaning schools can take part year after year. You can look at our map to see if your school has taken part before.
