Rezensionen

'This book will be welcomed by pragmatists and environmentalists alike. It is a passport to taking children out of the classroom and beyond into the real world: a real advocate for life-long learning.' - Liz Lakin, Primary Science Review

'This is a well-timed book ... Each case study offers practical guidance in making the most of the opportunity ... I kept on finding myself nodding in agreement with the comments on how fieldwork makes science come to life.' - Sian Crisp, Primary Science & Technology Today

'...provides answers to most of the problems teachers are likely to face in organising a trip and gives guidance on how to get the most out of the site to be studied...This book will be useful to teachers who are looking to change their science courses to include activities that will help prepare their students for life in the 21st century.' - John Parkinson, Education in Chemistry, January 2006
