Description
Class Experience
Students will gain an understanding about how our small interactions with nature can change an entire ecosystem on a large scale; how one action can have many unintended consequences. Topics covered will include the intentional eradication and near extinction of the Gray Wolf from Yellowstone and it's consequences, and how the students can similarly affect the ecosystem of their own backyard.
No supplies, just be prepared to participate in discussions.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
