In collaboration with expert NGSS writer Jesse Semeyn and the Center for Educational Initiatives at Illinois State University our first unit on the plight of our native Rusty Patched Bumblebee is now in pilot study at Illinois middle and high schools statewide. Soon it will be available free for midwestern schools everywhere. With versions for both middle and high schools the unit guides students in using science and engineering practices to make sense of the functioning of the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee’s ecosystem.
