Whether you're a stream studies novice or a veteran aquatic monitor, Watershed Dynamics gives you abundant practical resources to extend your students' investigations into local water quality and land-use issues. This two-part set is ideal for teaching biological and ecological concepts and research techniques. It also shows how the interplay between scientific data and human judgement can shape public policy decisions on zoning, flood control, and agricultural practices.

The Teacher Edition explains how to guide student research and engineering design projects. Classroom-ready materials include detailed background, sample assessment tasks and rubrics, and guidelines for integrating peer review into classroom science. The Teacher Editon also includes the complete Student Edition.

Watershed Dynamics is the final volume in the four-part Cornell Scientific Inquiry series designed to guide students in designing and conducting experiments, presenting their results, and exchanging feedback with their peers. See the other titles in the series: Decay and Renewal, Assessing Toxic Risk, and Invasion Ecology.

Review

This text is a great way to approach invertebrate biology, stream chemistry, global/spatial thinking, and to environmental awareness. The text is an easy read with numerous examples, bolded vocabulary, and great diagrams. Further, the experiments linked to the test are easy to set up, but allow students to really explore the material and it challenges them to think outside of the box. Overall, this is a great supplemental text. My only concern is a lack of a glossary and the choppy organization of the teachers edition. --Reviewed by: Amanda Obery (Morgantown, WV) on November 1, 2007
