Evolution, Diversity and the Sustainability of Life

Project Webfoot Free Lesson Plans for High School Teachers

For senior 1-4 (grade 9-12) classes, Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) has developed the wetland and environmental education unit Evolution, Diversity and the Sustainability of Life (Wetland Ecosystems III).

Download the teacher and student package (Wetland Ecosystems III) in English or French. You can also purchase the full-colour, professionally-bound lesson plans at the Marsh Shop for a minimal fee.

With this unit, you’ll receive a 20-page teacher’s guide and a companion student journal. These resources will assist educators in the presentation of cross-curricular science material and evaluation of student learning.

Subject areas include environmental impact assessment, socio-political considerations in environmental solutions, biodiversity, sustainable development, adaptations, natural selection, wetland types, pollution and taxonomy.

Evolution, Diversity and the Sustainability of Life (Wetland Ecosystems III) also includes a strong field component. Students will study a local wetland and learn first hand about sampling techniques, observation, teamwork, safety procedures, data analysis, experimentation and use of technology.

This publication is a great way to help your Senior 1-4 class learn about science and wetland conservation! This unit is provided to you absolutely free of charge.
