Let's go! science trails: a holistic way of looking at science in the world around us by using the local environment

The local environment is currently an underused resource. Science Trails is not just about taking lessons outside, but using the outdoor environment to discover and understand science concepts in primary school. The 29 Science Trails in this book are designed to enthuse, inspire and support any teacher to deliver science in thought-provoking ways.

The Trails have been written by practising teachers, who have created an invaluable CPD resource with a huge range of materials and ideas to promote outdoor learning throughout your primary school. They cover biology, chemistry and physics and the book includes a curriculum grid, cross curricular links and a full scientific glossary.
