Let’s Go – Science Trails

Features 29 trails which enables teachers to easily use their outdoor environment to discover and understand scientific concepts.

Written by practising teachers and including a huge range of materials and ideas, the trails are designed to inspire and support teachers, whilst demonstrating that the local environment is an underused resource. Also includes a curriculum grid, full scientific glossary and cross-curricular links. Developed by the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT).

Originally developed by a group of teachers in the London borough of Haringey who developed the trails in order to make the most of their outdoor areas in urban London. The trails provide a holistic way of looking at science in the world around us, using the local environment. Each trail provides support and ideas for outdoor learning, with a set of objectives, resources/equipment needed and health and safety implications. They are all designed to be easily adaptable to your own schools environment and surroundings and may even inspire you to develop trails of your own. An invaluable resource for CPD with a huge range of ideas and materials to promote outdoor learning from EYFS to KS2.

Developed by the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT) a charitable trust helping to improve the teaching and learning of primary science across the UK.
