Critical thinking skills, class discussions and natural science methodology will be combined for the production of photo-essays exploring Long Island's plant and animal communities. The impact of commercial development on ecological balance, and items in local news, provide the themes for class projects. Students must have a camera and are responsible for their own transportation to, from and around field sites. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours for 7 1/2 weeks.
