Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Guiding Principals


The meeting with the principal went well but you can tell it was exhausting. When do I ever wake up at 7:15? He’s very interested in the role beavers could play in the curriculum and likes the idea of using trail cams to help students observe and study a la our friends at ROEP. (The creek is far too incised for student field studies). He specifically wondered  whether beavers can fit with the guidelines for Life Sciences.

I dunno, what do you think?

MS-LS24 Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on recognizing patterns in data and making warranted inferences about changes in populations, and on evaluating empirical evidence supporting arguments about changes to ecosystems.

I came home and found three states where beavers are already written into this curriculum. Usually involving expensive field trips to beaver habitat. Where as our very thoughtful beavers brought the science to them. 🙂

It was so stressful trying to represent beavers and not look too insane at my very own junior high school that I came home and relaxed with graphics. I’m almost satisfied with this. It might need a kit. What do you think?

backlessOr this…

Ahh linda thanks for commenting! We are sticklers for accuracy though and real beavers have very rarely seen top teeth though. :-O
