More resources

I told you I couldn't stop. So here are the newest resources I want to make sure I have read before the school year begins:
A citizen's guide to Ecology - While reading my Teaching Secondary School Science book they say one of the purposes of teaching science is to make scientifically literate citizens, reminding me of this book about ecology and what every citizen should know and understand.

The Future of Life by E. O. Wilson which I started to poke through, page 5 and 6 covers extremophiles and it starts with a letter to Thoreau which of course makes me think I should read Thoreau ( I am doubting I will have time but it may make for something I could talk to the English teacher in my Small Learning Community about reading some passages from, something we can address together).

Finally, I should go back over the Beak of the Finch and look on the web for teaching strategies for this book.
