Environmental education is currently one of the important challenges of contemporary schools in Poland. The teaching and learning process in the newly reformed school offers huge possibilities in this area. This paper attempts to analyse the present form of environmental education in primary schools, which should benefit in the future from proper patterns of behaviour, an environmentally friendly attitude, and through encouraging the popularisation of environmental issues in wider circles of our society.
Keywords: environmental education, environmental education track, block teaching, teaching ways of studying life sciences
