Science affects all of our lives and STEM Ginger Education is passionate about making STEM accessible to all children. Passionate teachers inspire children and memorable experiences aid real learning. All our projects and tasks are hands-on / outdoors / involve museum visits and more! During the pandemic, there are always lots of fun on-line options too.
Teaching and learning about all things STEM and raising environmental awareness, developing critical thinking, increasing flexibility and confidence when communicating with people from other countries, in other languages, will equip our young people with fantastic life-long skills.
We need to communicate at the local scale as well as at the global scale to achieve the common goal of environmental awareness and positive climate change. STEM Ginger Education gives young people an opportunity to do this, with the Environmental Warriors, providing a reason to ask each other questions and to be curious. English is the tool of communication we use, let’s also take this opportunity to learn a bit about other languages and to break down barriers.
The more we learn, share and communicate about our environments, the more we will behave respectfully. Interacting with each other will motivate us to work together to find environmentally sustainable solutions, compatible with the kind of lives we want to lead. Let’s change our habits; let’s change the world with the environment’s well-being at the fore.
Each month the Environmental Warriors will outline the tasks for the month.
Each month we will choose an environmental warrior of the month.
Each month tasks and resources are available related to the project theme of the month.
In the forum, ask each other questions: learn about each other’s projects and motivations.
Use English to communicate and learn about each other: the diversity of our wonderful languages and cultures.

The tasks involve varying levels of complexity so chose tasks that you feel you can cope with. STEM Ginger Education will offer links and background information and you can also sign up for a workshop to learn more about implementing the project work.
There are many strategies you can use in the classroom to limit and control (for want of a better word!) the English your students use. Check out ‘Tips for implementing CLIL’ in my blog ‘CLIL: The good, the bad and the not so ugly’ for some ideas.
Keep the language within comfortable constraints for you personally in the class and, if the students are capable of more, they can hand in more for The Environmental Warrior project. As a teacher, you can also book in for some support sessions with STEM Ginger Education, or follow a course on implementing CLIL.
STEM Ginger Education offers various tasks (Earth, Fire, Air) so that students (and teachers) can work on tasks they know and feel they are capable of. Also, think about putting your students into groups of mixed ability so they can help and support each other.
The Environmental Warriors aims to make tasks real and relevant so that environmental awareness is something tangible for younger people. Keep an eye on the STEM Ginger Education blog where classroom and home activities will be available on a regular basis.
From the STEM Ginger Education website, there is a link to a Google Doc where teachers of different subjects, can share CLIL materials they create. Share resources you make or find to make every CLIL teacher’s life a little easier.
Don’t worry about using your L1 when need be – the important things are learning and, as much as possible, enjoying the learning. If a child is stressed because they don’t understand the English, they won’t learn anything, so translate and encourage them to learn and use words to begin with. Check out ‘Tips for implementing CLIL’ in my blog ‘CLIL: The good, the bad and the not so ugly’ for some ideas.
Definitely! The more teachers can work together with their students, the more effective and enjoyable the learning will be. An art teacher can work on the presentation of the project; a maths teacher could work with interpreting statistics gathered. There are so many options – be creative and inclusive!
Definitely. You may need to adapt activities but the idea is for the tasks to be inclusive and adaptable so that children of all ages and cognitive abilities can take part.
STEM Ginger Education writes, or finds and develops projects, related to the environment and gives children a purpose for communicating in English.
