Let’s Go – Science Trails

• Use your outdoor environment for teaching scientific concepts to children. • Practising teachers created the book to inspire educators, featuring 29 trail ideas and a wealth of other material. • Recognising underused urban outdoor areas, teachers in Haringey developed the trails that integrate local environments into primary science education. These customisable trails support outdoor learning with clear objectives, necessary resources and equipment, and health and safety guidelines. • The Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT) book offers invaluable CPD resources to promote outdoor learning from EYFS to KS2. It includes a curriculum grid, scientific glossary, and cross-curricular links. Topics covered are animals, biodiversity, habitats, electricity, energy, forces, light, plants, materials, rocks, fossils, soils, seasonal change, sound, and states of matter. Outdoor learning stimulates curiosity, encourages exploration, and connects scientific concepts to real life, benefiting children's physical and mental well-being. Using the outdoor area as a teaching tool enhances a child's learning experience, making real-world connections to scientific concepts. • Inspires and supports teachers in using the outdoor environment in their science lessons • Developed by practising teachers from the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT) • Features trails which can be easily adapted to suit a teachers own local environment
