Earth education aims to help people live harmoniously and joyfully with the natural world by:

* Understanding the ecological systems and communities of the planet

* Building deep emotional attachments to the Earth and its life

* Helping people reduce their impact on the Earth

An earth education programme is a carefully crafted series of magical learning experiences that focus on the goals of earth education. All programmes strongly support the National Curriculum across several subjects

Their discoveries give children a better understanding of the natural world and their responsibilities as passengers on our planet.

The activities are designed to assist children's understanding of the natural world and how it works. They include:

* Becoming spies inside a giant leaf to uncover the secrets of photosynthesis

The emphasis is on developing understandings and feelings of care and respect for the natural world.
