Nash, Julia – Primary Science, 2019
The Adventure Sack idea arose out of setting up a Forest School in a local National Trust mixed British woodland. A dilemma arose: how would 'stuff' be transported to the Forest School?

Aspinall, Claire – School Science Review, 2016
A key challenge when teaching physics is to equip students with the ability to apply the concepts to real-life situations. Students do not learn by information alone; they are affected by their environment, their social setting, how their body and mind feel and the interactions between these different aspects. This may explain why wild places and…

Watson, Doris L.; Clocksin, Brian D. – Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, 2011

The author comes to outdoor education from a background in theatre training. In the theatrical world one knows that the body remembers what the mind does not, or cannot.
