Abstract
Changes in emphasis in the curriculum, notably towards an increase in science process and environmental education, are prompting a higher level of practical problem solving approaches and integration of traditional subject areas across the curriculum. The local environment, whether in rural or urban areas, provides a virtually untapped resource in which experimental and investigatory work may be carried out. Ecological investigations fulfil the aims of science process whilst providing first-hand field experience.
