Learn about environmental science with Conservation Maven
March 24, 2010Teaching ecology and environmental conservation principles from the classroom can be a tough job. It’s a subject that really requires that hands-on, in-the-field type of involvement to really engage the student and provide tangible educational concepts for reflection. Conservation Maven can help with this.
Every day Conservation Maven posts educational and research items about all things conservation. You can keep track of ongoing conservation studies being done in the field. These provide a valuable in-the-field look into the science and practices of conservation principles in real-world situations. The site has multimedia resources as well, which can provide some visual appeal to your lessons.
