Project Learning Tree Workshop
Saturday, March 6
Registration deadline is February 25th!
Project Learning Tree and the World Forestry Center have joined forces to create a secondary module that provides a framework for exploring forests around the world.
Forests of the World provides formal and nonformal educators with a series of activities to help students and educators gain an increased understanding and appreciation of the diversity of world forest environments, with an emphasis on the human interaction with and dependence on those environments. The module activities provide students with opportunities to apply scientific processes and higher order thinking skills while investigating world forestry issues and conducting service learning action projects.
Experience Denver Zoo's forest exhibits and understand the role of zoos in conserving the worlds' forests and the animals that rely on these forests for habitat.
Hear from international researchers and others what forests mean to them and their culture, and practice the following activities to take back to your HS-HS social studies or science classroom.
1. Making the Global Connection
2. What Is a Forest?
3. Mapping the World's Forests
4. Analyzing Patterns of Forest Change
5. Understanding the Effects of Forest Uses 6. Seeking Sustainability: A Global Response 7. Exploring the World Marketplace 8. Making Consumer Choices 9. Researching Forests Around the World
