Pedagogical Use Description | The assignment can be easily adapted to fit one’s own teaching style and needs. I post the story and assignment in a classroom management program (e.g. Blackboard) and verbally discuss my expectations for the assignment. I then devote two 50-min lecture periods to covering the scientific topic of energy flow through ecosystems such as food chains, trophic levels, net primary production, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and ecological efficiency. Covering these materials can be done in whatever method the instructor has found to be effective. The story and its associated discussions are meant to be a supplement to course material, not a replacement. |
