Have used them in my AP Environmental and Environmental classes for the last couple years. The grizzly bear one goes well with our school planetarium since satellites are mentioned and play a key role in keeping track of the grizzly movements. Frogs as an indicator species is an important part of any ecology lesson as is the loss of bees and pollination! (keystone species) Sea turtles of all kinds are now on the endangered species list. This lesson provides a good base to launch a discussion of man’s impact on species and how things can be changed! The last lesson mentioned is a great lesson on trophic cascades, pair it with a video of the introduction of wolves into Yellowstone and you have a great lesson or possible debate for the day.
