“Plants, People & Planet at Lalbagh” is an advanced full-day botanical and ecological exploration designed for MYP 2 learners. Students investigate plant adaptations, energy flow, nutrient cycles, and the ecological pressures shaping urban biodiversity. Through guided observations, field research tasks, ecosystem mapping, systems-thinking challenges, and a sustainable urban design project, learners examine how plant systems maintain ecological balance—and how human decisions can strengthen or destabilize these environments. The programme develops scientific reasoning, urban-environment awareness, and personal responsibility toward sustainable living.
Students strengthen Research, Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Self-Management skills as they conduct field investigations, analyse adaptations, map ecosystems, record scientific observations, evaluate sustainability choices, participate in reflective discussions, and engage in design-based problem solving.
Students learn to identify plant structures and functions, analyse adaptations, explain energy transfer in plant systems, observe interdependent ecosystems, interpret human impact on biodiversity, collaborate on design challenges, and communicate scientific reasoning clearly through structured reflection and presentations.
By the end of the programme, students can analyse adaptations with justification, explain photosynthesis and energy flow, describe ecosystem interdependence, evaluate sustainability decisions, design resilient ecological solutions, and demonstrate responsibility toward maintaining healthy plant systems.
