Using Non Formal Resources to Teach Science and Sustainability

Students learn to use the city as a classroom to learn about science and sustainability in the urban environment. Students explore place-based environmental education by visiting non-formal settings such as parks, botanic gardens, museums, field stations, and public and private organizations and consider their roles as teachers and learners to link activities with inquiry, reflection and practice. Students learn and understand how to develop linkages between formal and non-formal learning by designing educational activities for learners of all ages.
