This brochure from the European Commission shows some examples of the impact of scientific projects on our daily lives.
This pack will take students on a journey that begins with getting down on our knees to observe the plants and animals that inhabit Europe's natural spaces.
We will discuss biodiversity – “What is biodiversity?” – and introduce some of the basic scientific concepts that underpin environmental science. We will ask questions such as “What is a species?”, “What is a habitat?”, “What are ecosystems?”, “How do they work?” and “Why are they important?”.
Pupils will learn to communicate their knowledge of nature and Europe's shared natural heritage.
The toolkit provides resources to find and identify important and interesting plants, animals and habitats in our immediate environment. In addition, students will learn what nature means to them and why they feel it is important.
