K12Science Podcast: Why Learn Outdoors?

I was recently reading the March – April 2026, issue of Science and Children, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue I read an article written by Mary Starr, Jordan Sherry-Wagner, Carrie Tzou, Megan Bang, Shirin Vossoughi, and Anna Lees. They wrote an article entitled “Place Matters.”

Outdoor learning is not simply a change in instructional setting, but a shift in relationships among children, educators, families, and the socio-ecological systems they inhabit.  Outdoor learning, when historicized and relationally grounded, becomes a practice of responsibility, connection, and future-making.
