Description: Six videos cover topics of pollination, sustainable fisheries, invasive species, wildfire management, water resources and alternative energy production. A series of in-class activities use these videos to practice asking scientific questions and aligning questions with data. The in-class activities can be prompted by any of the these videos. The same video may be used for more than activity or each activity can be prompted be a new video.
These activities were developed for ENVR 200 Introduction to Environmental Science, the first course in a series of three core courses that culminate in a two-term collaborative community capstone project. To prepare students for a successful capstone project, both scientific questioning and community generated science must be introduced early and often. These video prompted in-class activities provide an opportunity to bring to community voices and perspectives into the classroom while developing scientific thinking.
