What Darwin Never Saw - from the New Explorers series by Bill Kurtis. Focuses on the work of Peter and Mary Grant on evolution in the Galapagos Finches. Fits very micely with an EcoBeaker exercise on finch competition and evolution. The Bat, the Blossom, and the Biologist - BBC films good for Scientific Method. Several films on tall grass prairies that show modern conservation methods for this endangered system Where the Sky Began Last Stand of the Tallgrass Prairie - very heavy on ranchers' approaches to range management, imitate grazing by bison herds using modern beef cattle. America's Lost Landscape, the Tallgrass Prairie A three part series on the Great Lakes Great Lakes Alive The Chemistry of a Forest - talks about the Hubbard Brook experimental forest and the work on how clear cutting affected the mineral content of watershed soil and stream water. Hope these help, Liane **************************************** D.

My hope is to use videos to show examples of ecological concepts. Does anyone have any suggestions of videos that have worked well in the classroom? If so, how did you use them?
