Connecting with Earth: A Nature Walk
Get some fresh air by taking a walk around campus or in the nearby park or
groves.

Encourage students to concentrate to all five of their senses as they walk.

Close their eyes and ask them what they hear and smell. What does it feel
like to touch the grass—how does it smell? Allow them to drink from the
fountains so they can get a sense of how it tastes.

Repeat the walk as many times as possible. Pay attention to how your
senses pick up on subtle shifts in the environment.

Bring the students back into the classroom to talk about what they learned
from using their five senses. Fill out the attached questions to sum up the
experience, then ask:

1. In what ways does the Earth feel?

2 ,Then, take a deep breath and notice what you can detect in the air.

3. If you look around, are the surroundings clean? Are we upholding our
responsibilities as earth stewards?

4. Is the water you drank clean? If this is not the case, what do you think
the issue is?

5. What sounds do you hear when you took the walk?

Nature Walk: Why does it matter?
The ecological activity of going on a nature walk provides us with a
connection to the world around us while also educating my students about
both natural and constructed settings. Walks like this one help people
become more aware of the difficulties that are affecting the environment,
which is something we all rely on, as well as the steps that can be taken to
help improve and maintain it.

Whether we bring nature into the classroom, take children outdoors to learn,
or look for instructive moments while taking a stroll in the woods with our
family, we may discover ways to include nature into our education. A stroll
in the woods offers various advantages to children, teachers, educational
institutions, and communities.

As someone who has been an advocate for environmental education for a

long time and who plans to become an educator, it is my life's work to
motivate other people to become environmental educators. In point of fact,
not only do nature hikes provide students with chances for experiential
learning that take place outside of the classroom, but they also help students
to draw connections and apply what they have learned in the real world.
Learners are also better able to recognize the interdependence of problems
pertaining to society, the environment, the economy, culture, and politics.
