Instructional Materials for Undergraduates
Recently NTL scientists have collaborated with
Introductory Biology 151-152 at UW-Madison to develop problem-based
learning cases for use in this large lecture that serves over
1,000 biology majors annually. We have developed and tested
three cases that integrate LTER research and data.
These include ‘Skating on Thin Ice’
that uses changes in lake ice phenology,
‘Aquatic Hitchhikers and Promiscuous Boaters’
that uses zebra mussel invasion data and predictive models,
and ‘Are Fish Made of Maple Leaves’
that uses research on the relative importance of
terrestrial carbon to aquatic food webs. These have been field-tested
and used by UW faculty teaching ecology in this course.
We have also adapted these for use with preservice science education majors,
for science teachers, and for high school students.
