Use the short ‘Winter is Coming’ mission on our online game Sustainable Shaun as a starter with your class to introduce what plants need to grow and thrive and how to carry out a scientific investigation.

After being inspired by the game mission, your class can work through the pupil worksheets to make their own mini greenhouse. They can also carry out an experiment testing their scientific predictions, taking measurements, collecting and displaying results then drawing conclusions about the best growing conditions for plants.

A free online game that challenges pupils to build their own sustainable city by balancing five themes: food, nature, energy, transport and resources.

It inspires children to think about green issues and, in doing so, create a Green Capital legacy for future generations.
