Web Paper or Special Event

My inquiry project is actually a physical booklet that I put togehter, so I cannot post it here, but I can say a few words about it. The booklet is a Junior Ranger activities booklet, called "Diverse Ecosystems: Human and Wild". It's designed to try and bring together thinking about why diversity is important both biologically in an ecosystem, but also socially in a human "ecosystem." It also is supposed to try and get kids to begin making connections between how individual differing identities can affect/be affected by interactions with the environment, and to foster respect for not just the environment, but different people.

I created a podcast using stories of women studying science and mathematics as an inquiry into how to be a better educator to encourage equal gender participation in science and mathematics:

This is my children's book, with the annotations to go with it.  There are illustrations and it will make more sense when I bring in the illustrated printed version in class.
