Objective this week: To investigate and complete a field study over biodiversity in different habitats around the school.
Usually for my lesson plans, I post headings for Monday - Friday and then list what all is happening for those days. This study really depends on what we have in the pit traps, and how long it takes to sort the insects/specimens in class. The bulk of this class will involve filling out data charts and comparing group data. Data charts will most likely be filled out on Tuesday & Thursday, with MWF being dedicated to sampling/collecting data. Grades will be given for data charts and participation within groups for this activity. This is a great way to do hands-on application with the NGSS Standards......
