This study examines the conversations of 41 student teachers during visits to a designed rainforest in a
greenhouse in a botanical garden in Sweden. The aim of this study is to explore the multimodal affordances
of the rainforest for student teachers’ negotiations, and through this obtain an understanding of the
potential this environment has for teaching and learning about plants, biodiversity, ecology and life on
Earth.
Data for this exploratory case study was collected through observations as well as audio recordings of
interactions between student teachers. Data was analysed using multiple tools, including thematic analyses
and social semiotics. The results show that the walk-through in the rainforest and the encounters
with plants awaken curiosity, raise questions and bring about hypotheses. This has implications for and
informs teaching about plants and the importance of plants for life on Earth.
