Endangered Species Ecology Project | Human Impact on the Environment
In this in-depth Endangered Species Project, students investigate the culture of a people group living near a chosen Endangered Species, and create a campaign to save that species. The project is a great end-of-year or end-of-unit assignment for Ecology. Laws and regulations for protecting endangered species are needed, but do not always work if the community is not on board. But if a community has PRIDE in their native species, they will be motivated to save the species, and to protect the habi

Simple ecology inquiry labs - set of 4
These 4 experimental questions are suitable for AP Biology or APES. I use them during my first two weeks of class. These form the basis of our unit on experimental design and field work. These lessons were used successfully while we were teaching on a hybrid/concomitant basis. The experiments are varied enough that most students can find one of them suitable for the location they live at, whether instruction is in person, virtual, synchronous, asynchronous, or hybrid.
