My City’s an Ecosystem Curriculum
My City’s an Ecosystem was developed by BES educators and scientists to support the Parks & People’s Foundation Elementary school KidsGrow program. This series of modules allows teachers and their students to explore and learn about their schoolyard ecosystem. Investigation and exploration are central to the curriculum as is the development of scientific habits of mind including curiosity, open-mindedness, reflection and patience.
