The West Country has a host of natural landscapes and wildlife sanctuaries ideal for conducting scientific fieldwork, with the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, the moors and coastlines offering some of the best arenas for exploring natural-sciences in the country.
Home to the world's largest greenhouse, the Eden Project takes a dynamic approach towards investigating the interdependence between plants and people. Its two huge domes contain artificial biomes that mimic Tropical and Mediterranean environments, with temperate species found in the Outdoor Biome. Enter the Eden Project to discover which plant species determine the survival of the human race, investigate renewable technologies and collect samples of raw ingredients, such as tea and hops.
Explore historical approaches to botany and appreciate the relationship between science and sculpture at the Lost Gardens of Heligan, or investigate weathering and erosion at the standing stones of Dartmoor. Look out for fossils and study geological processes along Dorset's Jurassic Coast, or visit one of the many monkey sanctuaries, turtle parks, wild-bird centres and aquariums. Discover the world of science and have fun with your students at the amazing At-Bristol interactive science centre.
