This resource is a set of three lessons for children learning at the first SCQF level, inspired by the work of environmental heroes David Attenborough, Greta Thunberg and Poppy Okotcha. Each lesson begins with a brief storytelling of the person’s work and aims, followed by learning through art and craft activities based on nature and the environment. These activities encourage the children to consider, imagine and feel empowered to work towards the future that they want for the world. The children can develop their appreciation of nature and the ways in which humans interact with the natural environment. Through activities including nature journaling, crafting planters and storyboard or poster making, the students can apply their creative and observational skills whilst learning about the world. The resource cover document gives a fully detailed overview of the resource.

Educational level: Second level (SCQF 2-3) (SCN 2-02a, SCN 2-02b, SCN 3-01a, TCH 2-06a, SCN 3-05b, SOC 2-08a, SOC 2-08b, SOC 3-07a, SOC 3-10a, MTH 2-13a, MNU 2-20a) This resource by Nula Langmuir explores the concept of rewilding as a form of environmental conservation through art in an accessible and inquisitive way. It comprises of a set of three lessons, presentations, guides and notes with an optional fourth. The target audience for this resource is learners aged 7-11, involving conservation and the environment. Resource includes slides, lesson plans and notes, worksheets and printable activities. Lesson 1 comprises of a series of activities, including drawing a landscape, word association and key definitions, and food webs. Lesson 2 explores rewilding from Space, and the geography of how landscapes has changed over time. Lesson 3 uses the example of a field trip to Roslin Glen, but the activity can easily be adapted to your local area. The aim is to consider how rewilding may take place on a global and local scale. Lesson 4 is optional, a reflective activity which asks the learners to recall what they have learnt and evaluate it.

Germs, Disease, Vaccines & Chemical Reactions has been created as a teaching resource for the City of Edinburgh Council’s ‘Curiosity Club’, an Intervention Strategy initiative that is currently operating in Council schools. The focus of the four planned lessons is to increase knowledge and awareness during and after the covid-19 pandemic and help support the pupils in developing fair tests and inquiry skills. In each of the four/five sessions, the scene is set by Jason Leitch, Clinical Director asking pupils to act as investigators to solve a problem. The first introduces four types of microbe and where they lurk in schools. The second is a comparison experiment using a plant spray to mimic sneezing. The third session explores vaccines and fair testing on chemical reactions. The final session uses a card game to explain pandemics and global diseases patterns. A lab-book is enclosed with optional additional worksheets. The Teacher’s guide offers help with the experiments (including photos) and basic science on the resource in addition to hyperlinked resources. All sessions can be linked to the covid-19 pandemic if wished. Help and resources are to be found in the Teacher’s Guide. Contents in this resource • Extensive Teacher’s guide o Lesson Plan o Resource list and safety information o ‘Basic Facts and online resources’ (hyperlinked) o ‘Help with the Investigation’ (includes photos) • PowerPoint presentations.
