Natural History in North America & Beyond, Series III

Natural History in North America & Beyond, Series III, the third course in this series of ETV Teacher Recertification online courses with renowned Naturalist Rudy Mancke, focuses on South Carolina looking at geographic regions of our state from the mountains to the sea. We examine the biodiversity of all regions in South Carolina, looking at the distinctive geography and the great variety of plant and animal life forms along with their remarkable habitats to understand how they are connected. Award-winning NatureScene programs produced on location provide a rich, up-close experience with unprecedented access and exceptional photography. Naturalist Mancke conveys additional information in separate compact content segments to extend, reinforce and connect. This study will allow K-12 educators to integrate Natural History into their teaching, making connections students can relate to anywhere in the world.
