Description

The experimental activities formed a multi-week sequence in which students investigated a real local site, consulted stakeholders, and produced solutions and awareness products. Activities included a trip to a public picnic area where students noted positive and negative aspects, interviewing visitors, creating "solution proposals in groups", negotiating with officials, receiving feedback, presenting oral and written reports, and producing brochures, posters, clean-up activities and tree protection on campus.

Target Learners

  • first-year classroom teacher candidates (university)

Learning Goals

  • science process skills
  • understanding of the local environment
