Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| Look on the Internet for information about the return of life to Mt. St. Helen after the volcanic eruption. Are forest fires a negative force? How does the fire contribute to new growth? To gather information for a discussion of the ecology of this particular environment, students could develop a matrix of all the plants and animals mentioned with location, survival techniques, prey or predator and so forth. Compare and contrast the renewal of the forest with urban renewal. ecology http://conbio.rice.edu/vl/; fire www.nfpa.org | |||||||||
