Utilise your outdoor environment to teach STEM concepts to children.

Teachers can enhance STEM lessons through outdoor learning with this practical resource that links concepts to real-world scenarios, integrating technology, maths, and engineering. Each adaptable trail includes objectives, required resources and equipment and health and safety considerations, fitting any school's surroundings.

Developed by the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT), the collection of trails was originally inspired by practising teachers who recognised that their outdoor areas were often an underused resource.
The book features a curriculum grid, glossary of STEM terms, and cross-curricular links. Covering topics such as animals, biodiversity, habitats, electricity, forces, plants, materials, and seasonal change, it enhances learning, ignites curiosity, and encourages exploration while benefiting physical and mental well-being.
