This Nature of Teaching unit titled &#8220;the Scientific Process of Conservation Biology: Analyze, Design, Debate,&#8221; introduces students to the field of conservation biology and the process of conserving a species. It includes 4 lessons and 4 case studies as well as a teacher information section and list of sources.\u00a0 Students will learn how to: analyze literature, graphs, and figures to discern factors threatening a species; identify different careers involved in conservation biology; learn how to edit, revise an original management plan to better comprehend the iterative process of science; and much more.<\/p>\n<p><em>To view this free complete unit see:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-552-W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Scientific Process of Conservation Biology: Analyze, Design, Debate<\/a>, The Education Store, Purdue Extension.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/extension\/nature\/Pages\/Health-Lesson-Plans.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Health &amp; Wellness Lesson Plans<\/a>, Nature of Teaching<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/extension\/nature\/Pages\/lesson.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wildlife Lesson Plans<\/a>, Nature of Teaching<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/extension\/nature\/Pages\/Food-Waste-Lesson-Plans.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Food Waste Lesson Plans<\/a>, Nature of Teaching<\/p>\n<p>Briana Widner, student<br \/>\nPurdue University Department of Forestry and Natural Resources<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/fnr\/Pages\/Profile.aspx?strAlias=rodw\">Rod N Williams<\/a>, Engagement Faculty Fellow &amp; Associate Professor of Wildlife Science<br \/>\nPurdue University Department of Forestry and Natural Resources<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conservation biology is considered by some to be a &#8220;crisis discipline.&#8221; Decisions within the field must often be made quickly, sometimes without enough time to gather all of the data one would ideally have, and they can decide the fate of a species.
