Science Trails
This resource consists of a pair of articles which appeared in ASE's School Science Review in June 1999 which describe outdoor activity trails. The first article is the Maths and Science Fun Trail at Appleby Castle. The trail, developed by the childrens' teachers, was aimed at stimulating enthusiasm for mathematics and science while practising problem-solving skills in a local setting. Year Seven students were encouraged to help and learn with Year Five students from partner schools.
The second article describes a physical-activity trail. While many outdoor activities for children involve biology, this article describes one of the few which investigate the physical sciences.
