Practical Ecology is a blend of traditional classroom education and practical application. This course focuses on the basic needs of life and how they can be obtained through science-based design. The Physical/Life Science based lessons are taught in a classroom style setting and focused on how academic principles are applied to a homestead, farm, garden or community. The weekly classroom lesson is reinforced with a project-based cooperative learning activity implemented at Edgewise Farms, putting the academic lessons into practical use for human benefit.
Targeted Learners:
Practical Ecology is designed for 5th through 12th grade students. However, adaptations and modifications can be made for any learner to be successful in this course. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend all lessons. A responsible adult must be present to chaperone all on-farm activities.
Schedule: One class per week for the month of October (days to be determined) for a total of five (three to four-hour) sessions. Traditional classroom lesson will be followed by the practical lesson. All classroom and practical lessons will occur on Edgewise Farms in Anadarko, Oklahoma. If any lessons are cancelled due to weather they will not be made up. Every effort will be made to cover the missed material in brief.
Supplies: Each participant will need long protective pants, gloves, protective footwear (nothing with open toes) and weather appropriate clothing. Homework assignments are flexible in nature but will be greatly assisted by Internet access and the Google Earth Pro application.
