About MEECS: MEECS (Michigan Environmental Education Curriculum Support) is a state-specific environmental education curriculum funded and managed by EGLE to help students learn through inquiry-oriented, data-based science and social studies lessons. MEECS units apply to grades 3-12 and can be used individually, adopted into a school’s multi-year science curricula, or combined to form the basis for an integrated science course. The grade-band focus of the Ecosystem and Biodiversity workshop is middle school, but curriculum adaptations will be discussed to support additional grade levels.
This MEECS Ecosystem and Biodiversity unit update is supported by funding from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
Note: Thanks to support from EGLE, there is no cost to participate; however, space is limited, so please sign up early. If your plans change, let us know so we can offer another person the slot. We look forward to learning and sharing with you!
