In this set of activities we hope that you and your students can:

  • Learn more about how we are protecting our National Park and reducing our carbon footprint to look after our planet for future generations.
  • See how STEM can reduce the carbon footprint in your own lives.
  • Meet some people that work for us, finding out what they do and how they use STEM to look after our beautiful landscape.

Think about using the resources not only to link to the curriculum, but also to encourage the development of skills; teamwork, problem solving, creative thinking, time keeping, communication and presentation skills, and to extend thinking about how the students themselves can reduce their carbon footprint both at home and at school.
