Case Study
Chris Graham
Biology is evolving into a driving force for sustainability, with educators like Chris Graham leading the charge. As a biology teacher and sustainability lead at Hills Road Sixth Form College, Chris is determined to inspire students to address the climate and biodiversity crisis through ecological literacy. His passion for “creating a bright future” is evident in his work with Science and Plants for Schools (SAPS), where he promotes plant-based learning as fundamental to understanding biology and our ecosystems.
Incorporating plant science across the curriculum, Chris believes in taking learning beyond the classroom to foster an appreciation for local environments. This hands-on approach brings biology to life, sparking a sense of wonder in students as they grasp the role of plants in ecosystems.
As humanity faces pivotal decades ahead, Chris’s work exemplifies how ecological literacy can empower students with the knowledge and skills needed to build a sustainable society. For Chris and his students, biology isn’t just a subject — it’s a blueprint for a brighter future.
