About this unit

In this unit pupils study the approaches of different religions to issues of conservation and stewardship. Pupils use a variety of written and visual sources to explore the teachings of religions on the environment and how these beliefs affect the lives of believers. Pupils develop their understanding of how religious beliefs are expressed in practical ways. They compare, contrast and evaluate the views of each religion and reflect on the relevance to their own lives of what they have learnt.

This unit is expected to take approximately 7 hours.
