    about sustainable development and environmental education.
    These priorities are linked to preschools curriculum and used in every days learning process.

    - Understand that different plants like different growing conditions and need different amounts of
    space.

    Different kind of IT and other kind of tools, what you can use outdoor. For example how to use Dino
    Lite microscopes, usual microscopes, Bee-Bot´s , magnifiers, and etc. Quite many new IT tools and
    apps, what the teachers doesnt even know or dont know how to use them. During this project the
    teachers will use different kind of IT tools and apps to teach nature for children.
