Moving Through Nature: Infusing Environmental Learning Into Physical Education

This session invites participants to explore an interdisciplinary approach that blends movement with environmental and ecological education. Participants will actively engage in movement activities designed to teach scientific and environmental concepts -- such as predator-prey relationships, habitat disruption, and ecosystem dynamics -- through movement-based learning. By integrating elements of science, geography, and environmental studies into physical education, this session demonstrates how physical education can serve as a dynamic platform for cross-curricular instruction. Participants will engage in activities that promote physical literacy while fostering environmental awareness and stewardship. Whether teaching in a gym, on a playground, or in a natural setting, attendees will leave with adaptable strategies that connect students to nature through movement. This session is ideal for educators seeking to enrich their curriculum, support interdisciplinary learning goals, and assist students in learning about the natural world in meaningful and active ways.
