In my introductory courses in environmental science and ecology, students work on a three-part project throughout the 16-week semester (called “Finding Ecology Where You Look”) to focus on making observations of ecological phenomena on our campus and local environments. In Part I of the project, students photograph their campus observations, and identify and annotate examples of ecological concepts. Each of the Four-Dimensional Ecology Education (4DEE) framework dimensions are included in the photography assignment: Core Ecological Concepts (varied) Ecological Practices (as natural history, communicating and applying ecology), Human-Environment Interactions (as human dependence on the environment, human accelerated environmental change, ethics) and Cross-Cutting Themes (systems, spatial & temporal).
