The purpose of this resource is to have students observe their lilac plants and identify the five phenophases (first leaf, full or 95% leafed, first bloom, full bloom and end of bloom) for each lilac plant. During the growing season, students will observe their lilac plants and identify the five phenophases (first leaf, full or 95% leafed, first bloom, full bloom and end of bloom) for each lilac plant.

This transect across northern Washington State was one of our most geologically and biologically diverse field trips. The trip started with a drive across the relatively uniform basalt flows of the Columbia plateau and then traversed the extremely geologically complex North Cascades accessible from a scenic route through the small, and relatively less-traveled, North Cascades National Park. Steep gradients in elevation annual precipitation and winter temperatures revealed equally dramatic changes in vegetation from cold desert shrub lands to temperate coastal rain forests. Like previous trips, this one allowed students to observe glacial processes up close and trace the history of plant succession as glaciers retreat.

This activity consists of classroom lessons where children observe tree leaves and compare and contrast those leaves leading to an understanding of the terms deciduous and evergreen (and also coniferous). They then use that learning to help them identify the kind of tree based on samples on a chart.

Word Count: 21308 This eBook aims to support current and future plant genetic resource managers as they consider the impacts of climate change on plants, agriculture, agrobiodiversity, and plant collections. Our goal is to provide information for readers to learn, understand, plan, and anticipate climate change extremes and how they might impact plant conservation and ex situ collections. Developing plans and preparing management and decision-making processes for dealing with the effects of climate change aligns with many sustainability practices and brings forward skills and techniques for forecasting and adaptive resource management.
In this eBook, we focus on introducing broad ideas, tools, and tactics to support ex situ plant collection managers in building climate-ready collections. We summarize the impacts of climate change on agriculture and food systems, and present a series of chapters that highlight important considerations of a complex landscape, including:
Chapter 1 – Understanding how climate changes impacts agriculture and food systems Chapter 2 – Identifying the importance of plants in both mitigating and adapting to climate change Chapter 3 – Understanding the need and value of ex situ plant collections for providing solutions that address the effects of climate change Chapter 4 – Understanding how climate change affects plant interactions with pollinators, pathogens, and pests Chapter 5 – Describing methods and opportunities for plant breeding to respond to climate change Chapter 6 – Considering climate change impacts on plant collections management Chapter 7 – Learning to develop plans that address the vulnerabilities of climate change This information serves as an overview of a complex subject that includes the impacts of climate change on agricultural productivity and the critical roles that plant collections have in mitigating and adapting to a changing climate. A greater understanding of these key topics will provide critical insights into the planning necessary to ensure that food plant genetic resources are conserved for current and future generations.

The goal of this class was to explore the natural history of the southern part of the Cascade Range in Oregon. We discussed the complex geologic setting of the range and focused primarily on volcanic features, geologic history and landscape evolution. Adaptation of organisms to desert, alpine and forest habitats were investigated, as well as the spatial and temporal factors that influenced plant species distribution. We spent most of our time exploring Crater Lake National Park and Newberry Volcano National Monument during this immersive field experience..

La lezione fa parte di una unità formativa di apprendimento pensata per una classe prima della scuola primaria. L’unità didattica vuole rispondere a bisogni di alfabetizzazione cognitiva e di apprendimento. L’insegnante traccia un piano di massima dell’intera unità, pensando: all’articolazione dell’unità formativa, ai concetti da insegnare, alle abilità connesse da far apprendere in termini di competenze. In base a queste premesse, avvia la ricerca del materiale da far utilizzare; la scelta sarà guidata dalla necessità di trovare materiale che ben si adatta ai saperi e alle abilità da insegnare oltre che al livello di scolarità.L’intento di questo percorso formativo è quello di far vivere praticamente l’esperienza delle varie fasi della nascita di una pianta, che per crescere ha bisogno di determinate condizioni climatiche e ambientali, dell’importanza dell’acqua e come una di queste condizioni possa modificare la normale crescita e il regolare sviluppo della stessa.

This resource was created by Tessa Janssen in collaboration with Crystal Hurt as part of the 2019-20 ESU-NDE Digital Age Pedagogy Project. Educators worked with coaches to create Lesson Plans promoting both content area and digital age skills. This Lesson Plan is designed for 4th Grade Science. Students will demonstrate their learning of the functions of external plant parts.

The purpose of this unit is for students to develop their understanding of how to create art. This unit provides an opportunity to explore colour theory, Alberta-based artist Annora Brown and her connections to Indigenous cultures. Students will explore local art and wildlife, in addition to a brief dip into mindful awareness and how ultimately discover ways that we can connect the concepts of hands, images, and insights.
