Nature study
Ermistu Nature Centre
The nature center on the shores of Lake Ermistu is waiting for all nature lovers to get acquainted with our surroundings, both on land and in the water. Curricula for schools and kindergartens are practical, complementary programs to the school curriculum that raise environmental awareness and teach different methods and tools for nature research. The diverse nature and location of the cemetery have created all the prerequisites for collecting and sharing practical natural knowledge.
Instructions for the teacher
The content and duration of the program can be adjusted according to the needs of the target group by prior agreement. The main task of the teacher is to prepare the children for the field study, which includes prior explanation of the content of the upcoming field study program and ensuring that the students have suitable clothing for the field study. Prior information work is important to encourage children to take an active part in the program and to ensure that they are more involved. Changing and canceling a visit: If you miss a scheduled visit or want to change the time of the program, let us know as early as possible. Reservations cannot be canceled less than 14 days before the program.
Study programmes
In total, we have three different nature study programmes. All study programmes are meant for pupils at the stage of study I–III. With prior agreement, programmes can be adapted for upper secondary school pupils and pre-school children.
