Lesson idea. This tutorial drives work around a National Park, where student activities might cause damage. A research phase explains what a National park is and we then go on to design an investigation to measure the distribution of plant species across a path. This involves a line transect and an interrupted belt transect which are compared in some detail. Sample results and questions are provided.
Teaching approach. This is an investigation(ta) in a virtual field trip to Dartmoor National Park. It involves research, designing a scientific investigation and analysing the results. (edit)
