Nature Unbound
Nature Unbound includes a student book, science notebook, and teacher guide, to help high school students understand the impact of ecology on Missouri and the world.
Met with Tirsha Lanoir about converting two courtyards into outdoor learning spaces. We also discussed the DNS program and how they could incorporate Nature Unbound into their MySci units.
This is the “field” portion of a Nature Unbound hybrid training. This training will include an assessment of outdoor spaces for field experiences, utilization of science notebooks for data collection, practice with science tools and resources, student management tips and techniques, and the development of a natural resource management plan as a culminating project.
This is the second part of the Nature Unbound two part training. The first part was virtual and the second part is "in person" and is required to qualify for equipment grants.
Teachers need to order and bring the Nature Unbound Curriculum (Teacher Guide, Student Book and Science Notebook) from the MDC Teacher Portal. Also, wear closed toed, outdoor style shoes as we will be outside the entire workshop.

Nature Unbound is geared for Missouri High School Teachers who are looking to engage their students by incorporating information relevant to Missouri habitats into their Biology/Ecology/Conservation Courses. This training will include an assessment of outdoor spaces for field experiences, utilization of science notebooks for data collection, practice with science tools and resources, student management tips and techniques, and the development of a natural resource management plan as a culminating project.
This Discover Nature School (DNS) program, Nature Unbound, is for high school students. It includes engaging, hands-on outdoor learning that focuses on wildlife management, ecology, adaptations, populations, interactions, and biodiversity. It has already been correlated to both the Missouri Learning Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards and are designed to work with teacher's needs and existing curriculums. Additionally, learning outdoors improves student physical and mental health and reduces behavioral issues.
