wonder | REAL School Budapest

REAL School Budapest students gather in the school dining room, looking up at the newly installed botanical periodic table. The colour-coded display covers the wall, with plant cards arranged in the classic periodic table grid. The children are discovering the display for the first time after their spring break.

The botanical periodic table

What if each element in the periodic table has a plant partner? The stars made the elements, the earth holds them, the plants harvest them - and now they hang on the dining room wall. A project where botany meets chemistry, and lunch becomes a lesson on the universe.
