This activity uses the jigsaw method to encourage students, in groups, to become experts on different types of evidence as a means of understanding climate change. Each group focuses on a topic,...
During this exercise students will explore plant diversity in a greenhouse facility to investigate the evolutionary adaptations that have allowed plants to survive in a diversity of habitats....
All ecology texts include figures showing carbon cycles of various types (terrestrial, marine, global, etc). However, education research shows that introductory level students (both college and high...
This field activity allows students to discover the impacts of habitat fragmentation on air and soil temperature, canopy cover, and invasive species presence. It is a versatile activity that can be...
This exercise provides students with an introduction to applied demographic analysis. Students examine a scenario involving parrots and harvesting of the trees they require for nesting. Our...
This hypothetical population modeling exercise for the California condor, a highly endangered species, allows students to predict the outcome of different management options based on modifications...
In this exercise, students will assess occurrences of regional deforestation in the Amazon. Students will develop a change-detection model of deforestation in the headwaters of the Amazon by...
In this exercise students analyze given data to assess which areas in a landscape are important areas for bat conservation. Students will identify potential areas of importance on a map, prioritize...
This exercise allows students to become familiar with sampling techniques used in field biology and how data is obtained from these techniques. Often times obtaining exact distances measurements can...
Conservation genetics is central to successful captive breeding and subsequent re-introduction of threatened species. Many species have been saved from extinction by captive breeding programs, which...
