Teaching about WILDFIRE
Wildfire is complex and so is land management. The Southwest Fire Science Consortium developed a curriculum to inspire our future natural resource stewards and community leaders. Topics include biotic communities of the Southwest, fire ecology and how fire plays a role in these communities, and wildland fire and natural resources careers. The curriculum was funded by the Joint Fire Science Program and developed in collaboration with federal and state public affairs staff, including Fireworks managers, and curriculum developer, Cerise Consulting.
Full 10 lesson curriculum following science standards for middle school students. Includes individual lesson plans, learning platforms, and a training video for classroom teachers
Modules for classroom visits created for agency staff, environmental, and informal educators. Activities grouped by age: K-2, 3-5, middle and high school
