Practical tips:

• Before presenting an activity to children, always try it first so you understand the different steps and materials well.
• Try to work in small groups.
• Protect clothing.
• Only adults should use certain types of equipment (hotplates, ovens, etc.)
• Identify plants properly before picking them (poisonous plants, protected plants) and pick in places far from pollution.
