The Oxford Institute for Environmental Education’s Summer Workshops help teachers to develop investigation plans specific for their schoolyards. These Schoolyard Investigation Plans (SYIPs) emphasize hands-on learning and are designed to be duplicated in classrooms all around the country. Each SYIP contains information on lesson goals, materials, how to set-up the investigation, methodology, and analysis and communication. Please download and use these SYIPs as a resource for your classroom!
