"Environmental education has close links with the other four cross-curricular themes sharing many of the same features of investigative skills and body of knowledge. Pupils may research original and secondary sources, set up simulations, reach conclusions and discuss the validity of their ideas. The five themes share the possibilities for promoting the discussion of values and beliefs, extending knowledge and understanding, encouraging practical activities and decision-making and providing opportunities for pupils to make positive contributions to their community\'s way of life. The environmental education and other relationship. An example of an environmental dilemma is instructive without such consideration lessons that employ drama structure run the risk of being arid with the pupils engaged in their active English or fantacy play."
