Welcome to Ecoology!
July 30 - August 3: This page has been set up to give you notifications, updates, and reviews of our scientists'/naturalists' activities for the day. The class been designed with certain objectives and a certain framework of time to complete them; however, this is a class where the curiosity and engagement of the students will determine the actual flow of the course. If a student or two has an idea that should be shared by the class, we're going to go with it! The weather is also a factor we will need to keep in mind...
That being said, here are the projected plans for the week and a few requests. Please take note, some of the titles are meant to be ambiguous to help facilitate conversations at the end of the day.
