Do You See What I See? by Lynette Summerhill
"The scientist's job often includes finding a way to communicate abstract ideas in a way that others can understand. The Ecology Explorers program trains K-12 science teachers to use and pass along this skill." ASU Research Magazine (Winter 2004) http://researchmag.asu.edu/stories/ecoexplore2.html
Backyard Ecology - High School Students Participate in Urban Ecological Research by Monica Elser, Birgit Musheno, and Charlene Saltz
Involving high school students and teachers in urban ecological research at Arizona State University connected them to both academic research and their community. Teachers and students gained a better understanding of the scientific process as well as increased awareness that their neighborhoods were dynamic ecosystems they could directly impact.
