Discover inquiry-based lessons that integrate math and science instruction to teach about our people’s relationship to the environment. Human ecology offers a wonderful opportunity to teach key life science concepts, such as carrying capacity in nature, natural resource use, and how humans impact habitats and biodiversity. At the same time, understanding human ecology concepts requires knowledge and practice in mathematical functions such as computation, measurement, graphical representation, statistical analysis and more. In this hands-on workshop, participants will participate in innovative activities that illustrate the science and math behind real-world issues. Presented strategies will include creating representational models with manipulatives, collaborative group problem-solving challenges, graphing and analysis, and role-playing games.
