The Glasgow Science Centre has announced a fun-packed week of video broadcasts for kids to learn about biodiversity. 

The Big Biodiversity Week will start on Monday with environment-inspired videos being broadcast every morning at 10am from the centre's social media channels.

From origami turtles to tai chi, the programme promises to entertain kids while celebrating biodiversity. 

They will even have an opportunity to meet Amber and Archie - two pet snakes owned by Glasgow Science Centre’s science communicators.

Stephen Breslin, chief executive of Glasgow Science Centre, said: “We wanted to celebrate biodiversity this week and bring the millions of bugs, animals, plants and microbes that make up our planet. 

“Biodiversity is under threat in Scotland and around the world. There are eight million species on Earth, but within the next 10 years there’s a risk that one of every four known species could be made extinct."

It comes as part of Glasgow Science Centre’s GSC at Home programme, which has been bringing fun science to children across Scotland

He added: “GSC At Home is bringing the wonders of nature to life this week with hands-on activities for children and families, and we think grown-ups will enjoy the shows too.” 

The week coincides with World Environment Day on Friday, June 5.

Videos will be broadcast every day on Glasgow Science Centre’s social media channels and people can follow the activity and get involved using #BigBiodiversityWeek and #GSCAtHome.
