There's No Place Like Home?

In this lesson, students learn how conservationists have collected endangered frogs from a Central American rainforest in an attempt to save different species from extinction by the lethal chytrid fungus. They then take part in a "fishbowl" discussion on the various aspects of "in situ" versus "ex situ" conservation. This lesson is best suited for grades 6-12 and adheres to McRel Science Academic Content Standards.
