Materials for Schools
Impulses on environmental and nature topics
Are you looking for suggestions on topics related to the environment and nature for school lessons? The Biosphere Administration Office provides various materials for downloading or borrowing for school lessons. These include materials for identifying animals and plants, on the Ainring Moor, and a large collection of teaching materials on various animals , such as the chicken, bees, or wolves and dogs. In addition, a compact, comprehensive KlimaKiste can be borrowed to use in the classroom.
Identify moor, plants and animals
Wolfgang Kerschl from Saaldorf has developed great materials for a project week in the Ainringer Moor as well as for the identification of plants and animals. These materials are available free of charge and can be downloaded here as pdf-files (only in German):
Animals in the classroom
The Biosphere Region Administrative Office participated in the international project ELENA (Experiential Learning and Education for Nature Awareness), led by the Bavarian Academy for Nature Conservation and Landscape Management (ANL). In continuation of the model project “Animals live”, teaching materials for working with live animals in schools were developed. For example, there are detailed teaching materials on chickens, bees, wolves and dogs in German. Other materials, e.g. on earthworms, ants and butterflies, are also available in English.
Rental of the "KlimaKiste“
You can borrow the so-called “KlimaKiste” from Aktion Klima! free of charge from the Biosphere Region Administrative Office. Information materials introduce the topic of climate protection. Many tools and suggestions support you and your students in carrying out practical climate protection, e.g. reducing CO2 emissions in the school building.
The KlimaKiste was kindly provided by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment and BildungsCent e.V.
