In conclusion, we can say that contextualising teaching is an indispen-sable part of the educational process, not just in science and geography, as de-scribed in this book, but also in other school subjects. The current findings add to a growing body of literature on raising awareness for the contextualised teaching issue and shed some light on how teachers can use from students’ complicated and interconnected real worlds to help them learn more and bet-ter authentic science and geography. The relevance of interdisciplinary teaching and learning science or geography is clearly supported by the current findings. Returning to the thesis posed at the beginning of this review, it is now possible to state that teaching science, geography, and other subjects to students that feel that they have many more interesting things to do and that do not have a need to know feeling towards those disciplines is not an easy task
