Human ecology concepts can be built using engaging, inquiry-based activities that also build mathematical skills, employ technology and engineering practices. Using the Population Education curriculum, the presenter will lead participants in hands-on technology, small-group problem solving, data analysis, online tool demonstration and discussion that cover a range of human ecology topics including human population and natural resource use trends, and their resulting impacts on ecosystems, biodiversity, climate and the availability of fresh water. A variety of teaching techniques will be outlined for a truly inclusive classroom. Participants will receive Poulation Education lesson plans and background materials in an electronic format.
