Strategy Spotlight

Integrating the natural world offers a wide range of instructional benefits for all subject areas. The purpose of the strategy spotlight is to provide suggestions for ways to integrate the natural world in curriculum; collecting, storing, and handling natural objects; and training students on how to start naturalist collections. We encourage longer article/lesson plan submissions (500-600-words) or shorter narratives to provide information for educators on ways to use specimens from the natural world in the classroom. Submissions can be sent to submissions@blueswallowfarmfoundation.org.
