DNS - Nature Unbound

Nature Unbound is a high school level ecology unit designed to build on knowledge and concept foundations taught in basic biology. Supporting expectations from the MLS and NGSS, emphasis of this unit is on student-centered and collaborative investigations of ecosystem dynamics, cycles of matter and energy transfer, interdependent relationships, and human impact on biodiversity. This workshop will cover lessons and activities from the unit as well as an outdoor, experiential approach to student learning. All materials will be provided.

Participants in this workshop will become eligible to participate in the non-competitive grant program for equipment and field trips that support effective implementation of the unit.
