Endangered Species & Biodiversity: A Classroom Project & Theme
Lauro, Brook
American Biology Teacher, v74 n2 p114-116 Feb 2012
Students discover the factors contributing to species losses worldwide by conducting a project about endangered species as a component of a larger classroom theme of biodiversity. Groups conduct research using online endangered- species databases and present results to the class using PowerPoint. Students will improve computer research abilities as well as develop organizational, writing, and public-speaking skills. This topic can be used for most educational levels by adjusting the difficulty of the content.
