The changing curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4 presents many opportunities for the inclusion of Wildlife Recording in a variety of subjects and promotes the use of 'outdoor learning'.
Recording wildlife habitats and species within the school grounds and local areas, provides interesting 'real-life' experience. It also creates the opportunity to collect 'real' data which can then be used to carry out longer-term recording. There are excellent links to many curriculum subject areas, creating opportunities for a more thematic approach.
National Curriculum links
There are many opportunities to link biological recording to a wide range of curriculum areas.
Recording wildlife and habitats can also provide an ideal project for Science Clubs and After School groups.
