− | ===Lesson Plans===
| |
− | Each inquiry-based lesson plan includes key terms, enrichment activities, and standards met. A variety of hands-on or minds-on activities strengthen students’ critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. The enrichment activities encourage students to integrate biological knowledge and social issues. Extensive links are provided to botanical gardens, museums, and governmental and nongovernmental agencies.
