Earth Day 2025 – Live Lesson
We’ll be following the journey of the water cycle, in this Live Lesson filmed at the Eden Project.
Children will solve riddles as they are challenged to put the different stages of the cycle in order whilst learning about the endless movement of this precious resource.
Hosted by Naomi Wilkinson and Lizzie Daly, the lesson will take pupils on a trip deep inside the Rainforest Biome, which contains over 1,000 varieties of plants.
The 30 minute Live Lesson will be available to watch on Tuesday 22 April 2025 at 11:00 on the CBBC channel and from 09:00 on this page.
