Summary:

The authors challenge how and where science is taught, so that teachers maximise the potential of the school environment to develop scientific skills and concepts, across all areas of science, not just the biological elements. This will entail changing the approach to science and technology in schools by reconsidering where scientific skills and concepts are taught, for example, areas such as sound, forces, materials and light can be more effectively taught using the school grounds than in the confines of the classroom.
