Written by the award-winning National Curriculum Outdoors series authors and senior lecturer in Sustainability and Outdoor Learning, Dr. Alun Morgan, this book combines extensive research with the authors’ many years of hands-on experience in education. This toolkit has been carefully crafted to enable primary schools to teach children about ways they can positively impact the world around them through a model science curriculum. It supports teachers to creatively engage their pupils with issues linked to sustainability, using the outdoors to provide the ideal learning context and offering valuable support to your school for the National Education Park programme and Climate Change Awards. The advice, guidance and six exemplar lesson progressions for both lower Key Stage 2 and upper Key Stage 2 have all been trialled in schools and can easily be assimilated into busy school timetables, helping to save you time as well as helping the planet. The book includes a foreword by Dr. Paul Warwick, Sustainable Futures Lead at the University of Plymouth.
