This teacher's book is designed to help you and your students achieve the outcomes of the Papua New Guinea Grade 5 Environmental Studies syllabus. There are four complete units with activities and ideas designed to encourage students to be involved in 'hands on, minds on' experiences. Teaching and learning Environmental Studies is about: involving students in everyday experiences; offering a practical, hands-on approach to learning; involving the community; exploring students' feelings towards their natural environment; helping students develop to question information and acknowledge the importance of evidence to support conclusions; empowering students to feel confident to take action.
