Fieldwork: how can we investigate the sustainability of our school?

6 lessons

Description

This unit teaches pupils about the fieldwork enquiry process. Each lesson guides pupils through a stage of a fieldwork enquiry to help them investigate the sustainability of their school.

Pupils will already have learned about sustainability and the need to conserve natural resources in earlier Year 5 units. This prior knowledge provides a foundation for considering the sustainability of their own school. Fieldwork is an essential part of geographical enquiry, and while pupils have undertaken fieldwork in previous units, this is a good stage to explore the fieldwork enquiry process in greater depth.
