Why This Course Matters
Science teaching often relies on indoor labs, worksheets and directed tasks. But when we take science outdoors:
-
Children become investigators, not just learners — their engagement and curiosity soar.
-
Movement and real-world materials anchor concepts such as forces, materials, habitats and changes of state in memory.
-
Outdoor and sensory-rich environments support inclusive access, better behaviour, focus and motivation.
-
By using natural and up-cycled resources, you model sustainability, lower costs and creative pedagogy.
As a Science leader or specialist, this course helps you take science beyond the classroom walls — making it active, inclusive and relevant for every child.
