Science Outdoors: How You Can Become an Ecologist
Recommended age: 10–12

In this recorded session, pupils meet Marie McAvan, a working ecologist who studies wildlife, habitats and biodiversity across the UK.

Marie takes students through a real day in her job, showing how science moves beyond the classroom and into the outdoors. With her background as a former biology teacher and examiner, she explains ideas clearly and brings ecological work to life.

Pupils explore what ecologists do, from surveying birds, bats and plants to protecting habitats, and discover the tools and technology used in the field. Marie also shares her own career journey, from studying Marine Biology to retraining and changing career direction.

Part of the Green Jobs for Nature series, this session supports learning in science, geography and careers education, and is ideal for young people who enjoy nature, science and the idea of working outdoors to protect the environment.
