Exploring Ecosystems Lab
Students are asked to explore their local flora and fauna - either on school grounds or as part of a field trip to a preserve. The questions ask students to look at different aspects of the ecosystem they live in, in more detail than they have done before. I ask students to do "random sampling" (some near the parking lot, some in the preserve, she by the river bank, etc.) and create a poster of what was found in their area. This can be used as an intro to an ecology unit, or just to explore

The twelve constellations of the zodiac are important! Not because they predict our luck, love, health, and wealth, but because they are a great teaching tool to understand the motions of the Earth around the Sun. This Concept Comparison helps contrast the zodiac signs, derived from the constellations along the sun’s path in the sky. The star patterns along the ecliptic help Ss track the orbit and wobble of Earth. And they remind us of astronomy’s humble roots, from ancient cultures that have dr
