[aisle] High School sources for Natural Resources Management

[Meyer, Gail]

Lori,

Public libraries in our area are offering digital cards, where students (and residents) can sign up for a card that’s only good for online resources WITHOUT visiting the public library. I’d suggest inquiring about that.
For example, from our local public library:

Subject: Re: [aisle] High School sources for Natural Resources Management

I am trying to get free access to the public library's databases because most of the students do not utilize their public library, thus have no library card to be able to access the databases.

I am thinking of more FREE resources, such as government agencies or something.

But, thank you!

I would check with your local Soil and Water Conservation District.  They have great resources for students of all ages.  This is the state site: http://www.aiswcd.org/

Hi!!

Can you high school Librarians please share your ideas for resources for this type of project?

Natural Resources Management class.  The capstone class is called field research and is designed for students to research, plan, design and carry-out a research project over the course of the year.

Here are some examples: One group is looking at growth rates of smallmouth bass in two different river systems.  another will test hummingbird feeder preference for color and availability of a perch.  Germination and growth of coniferous trees in various soil types.  Habitat preference of dark-eyed juncos between rural and urban environments.

I have access to Gale databases, including Gale in Context High School and Gale Onefile and Gale in Context: Environmental Studies, which will obviously be very helpful, but not much more beyond Gale as far as access to databases.

Thanks for any ideas/leads!!


Lori
