This course will introduce students to the components of a freshwater habitat and a survey of the plants and animals that exist there. Visit Shedd’s Local Waters gallery and participate in animal encounters to get an up-close look at the subjects you are studying. Two field trips will connect you to this habitat and the impacts you can have on it. Conclude the course by conducting a project to further investigate your connection to freshwater environments and increase your research skills. Lecture and laboratory.
