Tragedy of the Commons Lab - Human Impact on the Environment
In 1968 the Tragedy of the Commons was published. A major principle of the article is the notion that any resource that is open to everyone – such as the air or parts of the ocean – will eventually be destroyed because everyone can use the resource but no one is responsible for preserving it. When people are not compelled to preserve resources for the welfare for future generations, the Tragedy of the Commons occurs. Objective: The purpose of this simulation is to demonstrate how individuals co

Exploring Ecosystems Lab
Students are asked to explore their local flora and fauna - either on school grounds or as part of a field trip to a preserve. The questions ask students to look at different aspects of the ecosystem they live in, in more detail than they have done before. I ask students to do "random sampling" (some near the parking lot, some in the preserve, she by the river bank, etc.) and create a poster of what was found in their area. This can be used as an intro to an ecology unit, or just to explore
