A4: Something to consider when talking about nature is that nearly all ecosystems in the world are managed by some sort of group or organization. Our values influence how we manage our ecosystems and what we seek from them! #resiliencechat
Q4: Quality of life is inextricably linked with quality of environment. Humans depend on many ecosystem services provided by nature to provide food, water, shelter, more. #resiliencechat
A3: A great way to incorporate nature into science education is partnering with local orgs to carry out "citizen science". Students can engage in data collection projects and interact with scientists (and any necessary equipment is often provided!) #resiliencechat

Ex) measuring water quality of stream or creek or collecting macro-invertebrates #resiliencechat
A2: Getting students into the field helps the students see the world through a different lens, honing observation skills, generating questions/hypotheses #resiliencechat
A2: outdoor learning is great for engaging in multi-sensory learning! Getting children outside is a great way to provide outlets for restless energy #resiliencechat

A1: Something for folks to consider is how we relate ourselves to nature. Often we think as humans as separate from nature but the reality is that we are part of these ecosystems! Our actions drive change in the way "nature" functions!

A fantastic resource for considering the nature-city divide is "Nature's Metropolis" by Cronan

So many benefits! Filtration of water & air, reducing urban heat-island effects, psychological benefits, conserving biodiversity, and more! #resiliencechat

I am excited to talk about this! I am currently planning a unit on human sustainability and one of the topics we will cover is urban green spaces and how we can develop spaces for nature and wildlife within cities as a climate resilience strategy! #resiliencechat

Hello all! My name is Matt and I am a student teacher at Huron High School in Ann Arbor. My content area is Earth and Environmental Science. Looking forward to a great chat #resiliencechat
#sunchat for teachers who returned f2f mid-year, what did your first day look like? For those who working with a blended hybrid model (simultaneous f2f and virtual students), what strategies would you recommend to maximize learning?

This topic is something I have been thinking about a lot as a new teacher. Thus far my experience has been entirely remote, next year will have quite the learning curve as far as classroom management goes #sunchat
