We teach earth, ecological, and environmental sciences in and about places
imbued with meaning by human experience. Scientific understanding is but one of themany
types of meanings that can accrue to a given place. People develop emotional attachments
to meaningful places. The sense of place, encompassing the meanings and attachments
that places hold for people, has been well characterized in environmental psychology.
Its components, place attachment and place meaning, can be measured psychometrically.
Place-based science teaching focuses on local and regional environments and synthesizes
different ways of knowing them, leveraging the senses of place of students and teachers.
Place-based teaching has been advocated for its relevance and potential to attract underrepresented
groups to science.
