This course provides an opportunity for schools with low student numbers to tackle different fieldwork enquiries across a range of dynamic habitats.
Our environmental science courses offer:
- First-hand experience of all the required sampling techniques (ST) to gain in-depth understanding of all required methodologies (Me).
- The opportunity to use a variety of specialist fieldwork equipment useful to the study of Environmental Science including moth and mammal traps and infiltrometers.
- Enquiries set within an environmental context enabling students to gain a broad and deep understanding of real-world Environmental Science.
- Mathematical skills and the use of GIS to encourage students to interrogate and manipulate fieldwork data.
These courses are for groups of 9 or less students from any one school. Students must be accompanied by a responsible adult (usually a teacher from a school, but could be a parent/carer for an individual student).
The course price includes in-course transport, whilst at the centre, and is exempt from VAT.
Please bring your own packed lunch for the first day. All other meals are included up to a packed lunch on the last day.
