This session will focus on using field experiences in teaching botany and
plant ecology. During the field trip, participants will be introduced to the
flora and ecology of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. There will also be ample
opportunity for casual botanizing and enjoying the scenery. In addition,
presenters will discuss how to use field experiences in botany classes, the
kinds of topics that can be taught with field examples, how to develop field
experiments, and how to assist students in developing their appreciation of
the non-lab setting in their education.
