Pedagogical Use Description | This exercise works well toward the latter end of an ecology course since it includes all the major organizational levels from organisms to ecosystems. In addition, it allows the instructor to teach both some academic content on urban ecology as well as the process of designing and carrying out a scientific study. Finally, it motivates students to explore both the natural and human-based features in their geographical region. |
