In order for evolution to be properly understood as a science, ENSI maintains that a thorough introduction to the nature of modern science is a necessary prerequisite to teaching evolution. The lessons included here are intended to do just that. Intended Audience/Grade Level These lessons are intended for use in any high school biology course. However, many can be used in middle school / junior high school, possibly with slight modification depending on teacher's style and approach, and the experience and level of students. Many would likewise be appropriate for use in junior college or lower division university levels. pdboyer Sat, 11 Sep 2010 14:54:24 GMT http://www.freenetwork.org/teachers/envquiz.html The environmental quiz was developed at the University of Minnesota in 1991 for use in a course dealing with a broad array of economic, social, and environmental issues. Since that time, the quiz has been taken by thousands of college students across the United States and by a number of other groups including teachers, high school students, boy scouts, community leaders, and forest products industry employees. Results show a pervasive pessimism, revealed by the fact that students, as well as a surprisingly high percentage of others, consistently indicate environmental conditions to be worse than they really are. Respondents also consistently demonstrate a shocking level of misinformation about forests and domestic forests in particular. pdboyer Sat, 11 Sep 2010 15:15:06 GMT http://www.flinnsci.com/resources_display.asp?catID=4 pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NewImages/images.php3?img_id=5109 Elephant damage to vegetation in Botswana pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://www.esbd.org/resources/big_ideas.html pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc_campbell_biology_7/media/interactivemedia/activities/load.html?52&A Interactive field tutorial for Techniques for Estimating Population Density and Size pdboyer Thu, 05 May 2011 02:01:36 GMT http://www.estuaries.gov/Students/Default.aspx?ID=288 About the Game - Background Information for Educators The purpose of the game is to: introduce science-based, educational concepts raise awareness and interest in topics dealing with estuaries, water quality, tides, marine debris, and what YOU can do to help. In-depth information on topics is available in the “Field Guide” in the game and in this section. The game occurs inside the ecosystem of an estuary on the west coast of the United States. Following a young girl named Valerie, players interact with Oscar the sea otter, and the fictional Claminator, a geoduck clam. To succeed, players must learn about the factors that produce healthy estuaries, food webs, and why estuaries are essential to both ocean life and to humans. pdboyer Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:21:03 GMT http://www.onlineethics.org/CMS/edu/precol/scienceclass.aspx Instructional Guide for Secondary Science Teachers pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://blogs.cornell.edu/garden/grow-your-program/evaluation-toolkit/evaluation-links/ Ways to evaluate success of gardening projects; includes examples pdboyer Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:24:35 GMT http://www.exemplars.com/resources/rubrics/index.html pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT
