Exciting News: Outdoor Learning Curriculum lesson plans for Science Enquiry are Here!
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of our brand-new Curriculum Based Outdoor Learning Resources and lesson plans for Science enquiry, specifically designed to take the classroom outside for Key Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4). We know that teachers are busier than ever, which is why we’ve developed 24 comprehensive, curriculum based lesson plans to help children work scientifically by swapping desks for the great outdoors without losing a second of academic rigour. So we limit the screens and change the scenes.
What’s Included?
Each lesson is tailored to meet specific learning objectives, ensuring that “outdoor time” is high-quality “learning time.” with two team challenges that develop students vocabulary and 1 science enquiry investigation.
- 12 Year 3 Lesson Plans: From exploring soil types and plant life cycles in Science to tracking local history and measuring perimeter in the playground.
- 12 Year 4 Lesson Plans: Focused challenges including sound exploration, classification keys, and creative writing inspired by the natural environment.
