Hi, I am in the process of designing my own Ecology course for a group of ~20 high school seniors at an independent school in Queens, NY. I am in need of curriculum direction, so if anybody on the listserv can recommend age-appropriate texts, syllabi, or curriculum suggestions, I am all ears! I worry that university-level ecology materials may be a bit too far advanced for my students, so I'm looking for something a bit lighter and less formal.
I would like the course to encompass behavioral components of ecology and have at least a few projects. Students will enter the course having taken 3 years of high school math (some with calculus, some with only pre-calculus), as well as biology, chemistry, and physics. The course will only last 1 semester (for now) as well.
