HDRFS Fire Ecology Green Boxes
As part of the Education and Workforce Development (E-WFD) component of the Harnessing the Data Revolution for Fire Science (HDRFS) project, DRI’s Science Alive team developed a Fire Science Ecology curriculum kit to be implemented in 7th grade middle-school classrooms across Nevada. The Ecology Green Box contains 4 science-standards-aligned lessons with corresponding activities and videos: Predicting Wildfires, Soil Science, Ecosystem Dynamics, and Biodiversity Solutions.
Over the next few years, new boxes will be developed with a unique HDRFS-themed curriculum and replicated for implementation throughout Nevada classrooms and education/outreach events.
