A NATURAL FOCUS
with Laurie Sanders
A Teacher Resource Guide
To Supplement the Video Series

New England is fertile ground for teaching children and teenagers about important biological concepts. This guide supplements a series of videos produced by WGBY on the natural history of the Connecticut River and includes the scripts, discussion questions, potential student projects, curriculum resources and website information to help you expand your science curriculum. We hope these materials take students beyond passive video watching and engage them in real activities.
Funding for this project was provided by a Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management Greenways and Trails Demonstration Grant, the US Fish and Wildlife Service Silvio O. Conte Challenge Cost Share Program and a grant from the Barnes Foundation.
