Issue 344 | Page 105 | Published Mar 2012
Description
This article reports the findings of a recent survey of how often south London secondary schools use local green spaces and parks for teaching science. Comparisons are made between these findings and those reported from a similar study of east London secondary schools in 2006. The article discusses how an external project responded to the needs listed by school science departments in the survey, and the outcomes following the support.
