Primary Education Teaching Materials - People and Environment

The materials have been written to the requirements of the primary curriculum and have been planned to make creative and challenging links between Citizenship, History, Science and Geography. They encourage children to consider how the Biosphere and its people, economy and culture has changed in the past, is still changing today and the challenges of sustainable development that await in the future. They are based on "Key Questions", which are listed below.

Schemes of work have been created for each key question together with associated enquiry-based learning materials
