Investigating decline and creating conservation solutions.
What is the global issue students are trying to tackle in this problem-based learning unit?
From agricultural systems to natural ecosystems to the communities we live in, pollinators play a critical role in the functionality of the world around us. As their populations are steadily declining, we must explore the challenge and develop creative solutions. This PBL aims to empower and motivate students to ask questions, explore conservation, and take action toward solutions that will positively impact pollinator species in their communities.
PBL designed in conjunction with The Butterfly Pavilion
