This book provides an environmental 'way in' to the science every primary science teacher needs to know under the ITT National Curriculum issued by the Teacher Training Agency. It builds constructively on the knowledge of and involvement in environmental issues possessed by practicing and student teachers, whether specialist or non-specialist scientists. Especially for the latter, science can be a daunting and difficult area of their teaching. The authors believe that, by way of an environmental emphasis, the science underpinning such practice can be acquired by most students, enabling them to build their confidence as effective science teachers, while developing environmental awareness and understanding in primary children.

Children need to experience nature, and gardening is a good way to encourage them to engage with the earth, plants and animals. Gardening classes, as taught in Steiner-Waldorf schools from Class 6 to Class 10, help children develop many important skills, including sensory perception and motor skills, as well as an understanding of ecology and agriculture. How can such a complex subject be taught well and effectively? In a clear structure -- which includes the history of school gardens, aspects of child development, and practical help on teaching methods, lesson planning for different age groups, and maintaining the garden itself -- Birte Kaufmann offers many useful tips and suggestions for new or developing gardening teachers.
