Topics
ECO-REACH has developed programs on a diverse range of topics, such as: Weather: Using Maps and Weather Instruments, Soil Ecology, Plants & What Helps Them Grow, Winter Camouflage, How Animals Use Color, Insects, Diversity of Animal Life, Cells and the Kingdoms of Life, Marine Biology: Focus on Sea Turtles, Creatures of the Night: Bats, Water Resources & Land Use, Butterflies, Tropical Rainforests, Stream Ecology, and Biomes of the World.
We will continue to diversify our range of topics. We emphasize developing programs to supplement schools' objectives while also fulfilling the requirements of the state curriculum guidelines. Examples of possible future topics include: biodiversity, ecosystem restoration, seasonal changes, land use, water use, animals and ecosystems on the Georgia coast, estuaries, wetlands, ocean life, coral reefs, marine animals, butterflies and butterfly gardening, organic gardening, birds, reptiles & amphibians, arachnids, streams, aquatic insects, deserts & desert creatures, Africa, tropical biology, human effects on the environment, conservation and sustainable development, and much more!
Activities
Participants design creative, hands-on activities as well as presenting basic information about ecology topics in the form of a talk or slide show. Some programs include scientific experiments, art projects, role-playing activities, reading literature, or guided nature walks. We target our activities to specific grade levels ranging from kindergarten through high school.
Area Served
As we are a volunteer organization with limited time and funding, we can only serve areas within a one-half hour drive of the University of Georgia.
