Gardening for Humanity

Chandler-Gilbert Community College - AZ, Arizona

As part of both introductory and upper-level biology courses students studied the wildlife in a water recharge area and the effects of global warming and pollution in that area. At the end of the course the students wrote reseach papers and shared what they learned with local children from the Boys and Girls Club.
