*If you would like a preview of these lesson plans, please email Monika@tectn.org.  Bring the Field Trip to Your School! Are you a teacher looking for a hands-on way to bring environmental science to life? What if your students didn’t have to leave campus to explore the local ecosystem, study native plants, observe pollinators, or practice field-based science? Check out TEC's Pollinator garden-based lesson plans! TEC's pollinator curriculum can help your school to have its own outdoor living laboratory—a place where students learn by observing, touching, measuring, identifying, questioning, and discovering the natural world around them. These lesson plans are designed around Tennessee ecosystems, native plants, and pollinators, transforming a small garden on school grounds into a year-round resource for hands-on learning. Rather than organizing a field trip miles away, bring the field trip to your students. We provide thoughtfully designed garden based-lesson plans for Environmental Science, Biology, Ecology, Taxonomy, Earth Science, and STEM, while providing opportunities for students to practice real scientific skills. Students can identify native plant species, classify organisms, investigate food webs, observe pollinator behavior, collect and analyze data, study adaptations, explore biodiversity, and examine the relationships between plants, insects, and the larger ecosystem. And it is not just science! Our curriculum is also a place for students to slow down, reconnect with nature, engage their senses, and experience the restorative benefits of being outdoors. A garden can provide opportunities for sensory observation, mindful nature activities, journaling, quiet reflection, and lessons connecting environmental awareness with student well-being and mental health. Plant it. Observe it. Study it. Enjoy it. Protect it.
