This book tries to bridge the gap between science and environmental education by describing a
set of projects initiatives and field activities which aim at raising awareness on the
environment and encourage action. Via the descriptions of approaches methods and projects it
shows how different organisations have been linking science with environmental education the
approaches used and the outcomes achieved. The various case studies guarantee that a special
emphasis is given to practice - as opposed to a focus on the theory as has largely been the
case in the past. This publication presents inputs from experienced science and environmental
educators drawing heavily from examples from Portugal. It will be a valuable tool for teachers
academics and practitioners as well as to students who will find useful hints and advice on
how to link science and environmental education bearing in mind different contexts realities
and resources.
