The unit Ways and means, from Science 5/13, deals with the provision of facilities, equipment and raw materials children need for all stages of their outdoor investigations and for resulting activities on their return to school. While the suggestions for plants in the school grounds will remain appropriate he information provided about the authorities responsible for the school and many of the sources of materials and equipment are out of date. Gramophone records (of bird songs) have long been replaced by CD-ROMs.
