Description:

This course deals with making observations about the natural world around us and developing and communicating ensuing explanations of its structure, composition, and dynamics based on available scientific (mainly geology, paleontology, and ecology) information. Specifically, exploration of regional geological history, the structural features it produced, regional climates, and past and present ecosystems are studied through relevant field trips to areas of interest. Field trip locations include Lake Erie, local rivers, forests, bogs, rock outcrops, marshes, and many areas of the Hiram College Field Station. Additionally, various nature education facilities and organizations will be visited to study how the public is informed and how natural resources are managed at each site. Each student will be required to develop her or his own nature education presentation.
