Ecology: Common Assignment 2 For Students
The Common Assignment 2 section (for students) of Science Unit: Ecology helps students understand how human activity impacts ecosystems and explore evidence-based solutions geared toward lessening this impact. Students will conduct a lab simulation, complete an LDC research paper in the form of a National Geographic article, and deliver an oral presentation to share findings using visual aids. For easy use and customization, files are available in PDF and Word.
Here’s what we know: Implementing a comprehensive, standards-aligned curriculum is a complex undertaking, even in a typical, in-person classroom. There are new pedagogical approaches to consider, texts and topics to unpack, instructional shifts to practice, academic routines to introduce, and the list goes on.
We all learn in different ways. And when it comes to preparing students with the skills they need to succeed in the 21<sup>st</sup> century, teachers are always looking for new, innovative tools to use in the classroom.
Dan Ryder teaches high school English and humanities, but his students still wind up learning computer-aided design and 3D printing. In his classes at Mt. Blue High School in Farmington, Maine, Ryder has students design and build 3D “fidgets” after learning about the impact of stress and studying social entrepreneurship.
