The rainforest biome at the Eden Project will host a BBC Live Lesson on Earth Day, 22 April. 

Hosted by Naomi Wilkinson and Lizzie Daly, the lesson will be available on the BBC Teach website and broadcast at 11:00 on CBBC and BBC iPlayer. 

Following the journey of the water cycle, children will be taken to the biome to learn about its constant movement and why the water cycle is essential for the planet. 

Featuring contributions from Eden Project’s education lead Robbie Kirkman, the show will cover biodiversity, climate change, and our connections to the rainforest.

Kirkman says education is at the heart of the Eden Project, adding:

“Our programmes empower young people to better understand how they can help nurture and protect the planet.”

Another live lesson will take place on 25 April, focussing on the Eden Project’s annual food sharing initiative, The Big Lunch.
