Get out of the classroom and into the field, where students can get up close and personal with the environment. Exploring Ecology gets you ready and then tells you what to do when you get there. It's a collection of hands-on, inquiry-based activities developed and written by two teachers who test-drove them with their own students. The book can be used for an eight-week unit on ecology or for shorter one- or two-week units. Designed specifically for easy use, Exploring Ecology combines content with activities, all in one place, and organized into four clear sections. After starting with "Management, Mechanics, and Miscellany," which includes guidance on safety, preparation, materials, and discipline, the authors get to the activities: "The Basic Introduction to Ecology" covers basic ecological concepts, including populations, communities, food webs, and energy flow with 35 in-class and outside activities that prepare students for their trip. "The Field Trip: Applying Ecology Concepts" offers practical suggestions on site selection and organizing the students and their materials, plus four before- and after-the-trip activities. "Integration and Extension" provides 10 more activities to integrate other disciplines; language arts, social studies, and art, and extend the students' understanding of Earth as an ecosystem. Although the book is targeted to teachers of science in grades 4 - 8, many activities have been adapted for students ranging from first grade to high school. The material is also suitable for nature centres and summer camps.

I always believed that their environment could easily influence a person, but they must decide whether that environment is temporary or permanent. Adjustment -to environmental changes may not be necessary if the environment is temporary, nor may they be advisable. If changes in an environment are permanent, adjustment will have to be made to accommodate those changes. When an environment returns to normal, then the influences created by a temporary environment, must also return to normal. The story moves from the ordinary to the adventurous, as each major character exits the group mode and become individuals, exerting their gifts and talents for their own benefit. They become victims or beneficiaries of the influences of a new or different environment. One day, it could be you!
