The Galapagos |

I have been teaching a unit on Darwin's finches and the Galapagos for a number of years but always felt like what I was doing didn't quite hit the mark. Well...that changed this year when I used Ecology and Evolution: Islands of Change. This is a great resource for teachers and includes numerous hands-on activities that truly engaged my sixth graders. The sequence of activities also helped to connect concepts in a meaningful way. We all found ourselves reflecting back to conversations and lessons and also made many connections to what was being shared during our Current Events in Science presentations. The book was very easy to use, supplied lots of great vocabulary, and incorporated activities that were very age appropriate. As this was my first year with the book, I'm looking forward to using it in its entirety this upcoming year and weaving more current events and history into our lessons and discussions. |
