Abstract	As well as providing a valuable and enjoyable experience for pupils, outdoor learning also enhances and contextualises learning in science by helping pupils understand science concepts. Teachers' lack of confidence in which aspects of the science curriculum they can actually teach outdoors deters them from venturing outside the classroom for science lessons. This article provides some tried-and-tested strategies that were developed as part of a whole-school project to develop the teaching of science beyond the classroom boundaries. The following sections are included to assist teachers in planning for outdoor science lessons: (1) Planning for outdoor lessons; (2) What aspects of the science curriculum can be taken outdoors?; (3) Outdoor science project learning goals; and (4) What resources are required for an outdoor science curriculum?
