  1. Field Science Inquiry

  2. Environmental Field Studies • Students plan and conduct their own environmental investigations. • (1) Students conduct environmental survey • Background information of local environment • Helps uncover local issues or conditions • (2)Students conduct on-site survey • Make observations of site • (3) Students organize and analyze their data • (4) Students are doing science as well as learning science concepts used to make sense of the world

  3. Vocab Related to Field Sciences • Survey • Biotic/Abiotic • Community • Competition • Connected • Invasive / Indigenous • Simulation • Land use practice • Biological indicators • Biological monitoring • Sensitivity or tolerance to pollution • Species interactions • Environmental factors • Ecological impact • Degradation

  4. Classroom Example: Field Study in Stream Environment

  5. Field Science Examples • Field science example in SMED - QUEST this summer • Remember Ron sending us on a quest during Summer to find a question in the quad? • Examples from Crescent Valley • Water quality • Plant portfolio project • Vegetation of the Willamette Valley • Changes on Bald Hill • Air quality via lichen • Soil and plants

  6. Field Science Examples • In my own experience • Blue Linkia great barrier reef project • 1 meter by 1 meter square – what kind of life is present? • Drudge the bottom of the sea

  7. Field Science Inquiry • Inquiry takes place in the actual settings/environment • Observing the natural phenomenon without replication (ex. Rivers and streams) • The results aren’t pre-determined • Small area can test wide range of properties=range of inquiry • Relevant to students? What about in urban areas?
