Biodiversity StudyIn this project, students use their note taking, observation and identification skills to collect and record data on the species present in the Godfrey Lee community. Records of species and who found them will be kept in a document here.
Age Level: Middle-High School Difficulty: Medium-High Fun Level: Righteous #biology, environmental science, species ID Species IdentificationStudents will learn how to use identification guides, apps, and websites; make sketches and record information that will help them get familiar with Native and Invasive plant, animals and other wildlife in Michigan. This data can be used to contribute to the District Biodiversity Project (see above).
Age Level: ANY (ELEMENTARY preferred) Difficulty: Easy-Medium Fun Level: High #Species Id., get to know what lives here, be a scientist!, #biology |
Area/Land mappingUse Google Maps or student/ hand-drawn maps to record the basic land features-where certain trees or species of plants (or animal sightings!) are found. This will be an ongoing collaboration that will grow and change as information is added.
Age Level: ANY Difficulty: Low-Medium-High Fun Level: Get outside and walk around! #social studies, environmental science, species ID, math & measurement, #technology-integration Watershed QualityYou can work with WMEAC and/or the Plaster Creek Watershed Stewards to conduct scientific data collection of macroinvertebrates or water quality sampling for Chemistry. They have equipment (waders nets, collection jars, specimen identification)
Age Level: Middle-High School Difficulty: Medium-High Fun Level: Get-your-feet-wet! #chemistry, environmental science, physical science, species ID |
