Students in my middle school life science course spend the final 9 weeks of the school developing a heightened appreciation for the vast outdoor experiences available to them in Montana. Students begin by learning about the geology of nearby Glacier National Park and move onto exploring the drainage basins and river systems of Montana. From there, students begin tying into how these abiotic factors influence diverse life forms that thrive in these environments. During this time through research and hands-on learning students study the anatomy and life cycles of terrestrial and aquatic insects, as well as the larger organisms that rely on them as a primary food source. The final piece of this unit explores the historical and present day social issues surrounding Montana's public lands and water which includes the cultural significance of these to Montana's American Indian tribes. The fly tying equipment requested in this project, including Colorado Anglers Tool Kits and instructional books, will allow students to engage in a hands-on enrichment activity that provides them the opportunity to apply what they have learned about insect anatomy, life cycles, and imitation to create something inside the classroom they can take out into the outside world. There, they can continue their learning and experience Montana's great ecosystems.
