Curriculum area and lesson plans
This pack focuses on the four curriculum areas listed below. Each area is referenced to CfE, including the relevant experiences and outcomes code. The selected areas are the main environmental education themes that schools can undertake on visits to the country park. The pack’s content is not exhaustive and additional lesson plans will be developed which can be added to it. Lesson plans can also be developed, on request, in the format outlined in this resource.
• Sciences: Planet Earth: Biodiversity and interdependence. SCN 1-01a, 2-01a, 3-01a, 4-01a
• Sciences: Planet Earth: Biodiversity and interdependence. SCN 1-02a, 2-02a, 3-02a
• Sciences: Planet Earth: Processes of the planet. SCN 3-05b, 4-05b
• Sciences: Biological systems: Body systems and cells. SCN 0-12a, 1-12b
For each of the experiences and outcomes the code is referenced along with brief guidance on the type of learner and approach.
The experiences and outcomes are then interpreted to form high quality learning intentions and success criteria. This ensures the outcomes are manageable and can be achieved.
Following on from this the lesson plans outline the main countryside ranger led activities that can be undertaken within the country park, together with suggested follow-up activities. Some of the activities can also be led by the countryside rangers within school grounds or local green space (if suitable). Further guidance on this should be sought from the countryside ranger service.
Finally, the pack details information and activities to support self-led groups.
The lesson plans and the activities they contain are not prescriptive; they can be adapted to fit with a group’s learning stage or to meet specific needs or requirements.
To arrange a countryside ranger led visit to the country park, your school grounds or local green space simply complete and return the booking form (appendix 1). Reference to the preferred activities and experiences and outcomes codes, as described in the pack, should be included in the form.
