Virtual Field Trip

Through the work of the ReSTEM Institute and the Missouri Transect Project at the University of Missouri-Columbia, high school biology students explored general ecology principles and the effects of climate change at the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Tucker Prairie, one of the few remaining tall grass prairies in the U.S. This website captures segments of the field trip for use in classroom settings. Video footage of ecology presentations at Tucker Prairie, text sets to promote further exploration of related ecology ideas, and accompanying questions are grouped into six separate ecology “explorations”.
