by Eloise Farmer [GSS teacher leader and]
Biology Teacher retiring in June after 37.5
years. The book
would be useful with Life and Climate, since
many suggested activities involve students
monitoring the effects of human activities
on a variety of things on local bodies of
water, or ecosystems in general. It also could
be used with Ecosystem Change, or Changing
Climate for the same reason. Students could
use GIS to map changes in coastlines due to
erosion, the effects of storms on an area,
etc. It really emphasizes systems, so it could
be used with any of the GSS books. This link tells
how it has been used in a high school.
