Dear friends,
I am a University teacher and education coordinator in Brasil and our Departament is testing a new Biology curriculum with courses like teaching ecology, botany, zoology, microbiology.
The idea is to develop methods to teach these areas in public secondary schools but now I was invited to teach a field class for preschool kids (5 years).
I would to share ideas because the school is near a rainforest fragment with howler monkies, a very good place to teach! I am thinking in an practice about observation of plants to understand the structure of the rainforest comparing herbs, brushes and trees. Any ideas?
Some pictures of my teaching ecology activities: https://www.facebook.com/ecotrop/media_set?set=a.10207129950628258.1073741841.1266679242&type=3&uploaded=83
