This unit, part of the Nature of Teaching<\/a> series, explores the effects of barriers and human assistance on wildlife gene flow. Students will learn about the effects of human-induced factors on\"Nature<\/a> wildlife movement and gene flow, and the effectiveness of human interventions that promote gene flow among wildlife.\u00a0 You will find in the complete curriculum: teachers’ notes, vocabulary words, objectives and required materials for activities including gene flow simulation and estimating genetic variations in lady beetles.<\/p>\n

The Nature of Teaching includes formal standards-based curricula and informal activity-based curricula all centered around getting youth outside. The three program areas of the formal curricula include: Wildlife, Health and Wellness, and Food Waste. Each program area provides standards-based lesson plans free as a downloadable PDF. Lesson plans are classroom ready for grades K-12.<\/p>\n
