"This book shows how a wide range of contexts for learning science can be used outside of the classroom, and includes learning: at museums, science centres and planetaria from newspapers, magazines and through ICT at industrial sites and through science trails at zoos, farms, botanic gardens, residential centres and freshwater habitats in school grounds. With contributions from well known and respected practitioners in all fields of sci ..."
"This book contains ready-to-use, tried-and-tested lesson plans for engaging students aged 11-16 in the sciences using drama and role play techniques. How to increase students' interest and engagement in science is a challenge shared by teachers around the world. Designing effective science lesson plans using drama and role play requires expertise across two very different subject areas and, as a consequence, many science teachers find i ..."

"Of course, pupils learn much more by creating their own trail, with their own
questions to be answered. The Salters' Chemistry Club Handbook, Volume 1 (
Holman, 1997) gives guidance to pupils trying to create their own chemistry trails.
There is a copiable double-page worksheet of ideas to think about, questions to
consider and suggestions for recording the trail. If paper copies of that handbook
cannot be tracked down, it can be do ..."
"Making the focus edible plants brings the issue of genetic diversity and species
abundance to a domestic level. ... Some teachers grow beans indoors in pots and
