Deforestation explores the science behind ecological succession-soil erosion, the make-up of an ecological niche, habitat fragmentation, energy flow, and land use methods and management. With these science-based tools and skills, students are prepared to address the central question: Can we balance resource conservation with economic growth?

Science professors tell all -- how to get out from behind the lectern, break away from cookbook exercises, and involve college students more deeply in their own learning. In this collection of 10 first-person articles from The Journal of College Science Teaching, the authors reveal their own best techniques for using inquiry-based learning, even with nonscience majors. (The term practicing in the title refers to the way the book helps you help students do science as it's done in the real world -- through hypothesis-building, observation, and experimental design.) A bonus: The articles are highly readable and concrete, reflecting the real-world experience of imaginative professors eager to engage students in learning the process of science.

Practicing Science: The Investigative Approach in College Science Teaching (NSTA Press Journals Collection)

Higher & Continuing Education

<p>This inspired (and inspiring) two-part set weaves an examination of the nature of scientific inquiry into a compelling study of evolution. The package consists of a teacher guide on CD-ROM with a text designed specifically for high school students. The text's stage-setting first chapter provides a broad introduction to the nature and methods of science. The remaining five chapters cover the events that led Charles Darwin to develop his ideas on the unity and diversity of life on Earth; seven lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution; population genetics; natural selection; and primate and human evolution. To help students monitor their own learning, the book's special features include statements of key concepts, strategies to reinforce learning, and memorable quotes about evolution. The teacher CD ties in with major points in each chapter, where activity icons serve as invitations to explore major concepts in more depth through the CD's related activities and Zoom Ins.</p>
