Leaf Lab at Singapore Botanic Gardens

Plants: Photosynthesis & Structures Adventure Pack

Inside the lush greenhouses of Singapore Botanic Gardens, the plants are losing their power.

Leaves are fading without chlorophyll. Sunlight is not reaching the right cells. Water transport is breaking down through stems and roots. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the photosynthesis system and needs explorers to restore the plant network before the entire garden ecosystem weakens.

In Leaf Lab at Singapore Botanic Gardens, students are dropped into a high-stakes life science mission surrounded by one of the world’s most vibrant botanical collections. By learning how photosynthesis converts sunlight into energy, how roots and stems transport water, and how leaves produce oxygen, explorers must rebuild the plant system and restore balance.

This adventure blends foundational plant biology concepts with story, exploration, and optional hands-on discovery.
