Beschreibung

Ziel dieses Leitfadens ist es, den Schülern die ökologischen Funktionen eines jeden natürlichen Systems zu vermitteln und zu zeigen, wie diese Funktionen in einem natürlichen Gebiet wie einem Garten erfüllt werden.

Many elements are interconnected and function together to create the natural and productive living system that is your garden. This series of resources and lessons plans start with a general overview of the interconnected systems within a garden, with supporting video resources and activities. 

Building on from this introduction, more details and practical lesson plans are provided focusing on key areas of habitat, soil quality, carbon footprint and community engagement. Each set of lessons adopts a scientific approach to exploring, engaging and evaluating achievements and learning outcomes.


Wie Sie diese Ressource nutzen können

This series of resources for teachers focuses around the school garden as a learning environment for students and community. Following an introductory series of classes into the interrelated living systems of a school garden, detailed action-orientated lesson plans with supporting resources guide the teacher and students through an exploration of aspects of the garden; soil, habitat, food and carbon footprint and community. Throughout the themed explorations, emphasis is put on gathering data, analysis, decision making, action taking and evaluation.

The resources start with an exploration of the garden systems, building a deeper understanding of the important interrelationships between each system towards a healthy and sustainable environment. The global perspectives and drivers inform the local examination and informed action.

Each set of lesson plans is built around clear learning objectives and pedagogic approaches to encourage curiosity and literacy in scientific and environmental terms. Each set of lesson plan learning objectives is structured under knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation headings for students to achieve. 

Implementation of these resources would require an interdisciplinary approach and engagement with local community stakeholders. 

The resources are a good example of how a school garden can be utilised to support student learning and engagement in SC. There is scope for teacher to reflect on their own practice and context to adapt and implement resources in their own schools.

Within each series of lessons plans there is space to evaluate the effectiveness of the school garden under each themed lens. There is also built in self-reflection and self-evaluation for students within lesson plans.
