Living with Fire
In the summer months, national news reports wildfires in western United States annually. While it is rare to hear of a natural wildfire occurring in Iowa, people often use fire to manage our forests and grasslands. As an extension to Project Learning Tree’s activity “Living with Fire,” ask a local natural resource manager if and when they prescribe prairie or forest burns. (See list below for contact information). Ask if your students can either watch or help (depending on age and ability) with the burn. Ask the natural resource manager to give students more information on why they burn, how often they do it, and how fire affects plants and wildlife (including insects).

Pass the Plants, Please
Plants surround us, although many students seem to overlook their importance. Besides providing oxygen, stabilizing soil, and providing habitat, plants are an important part of our diet. Investigate the ways plants are used to make various foods through Project Learning Tree’s activity “Pass the Plants, Please.” As an extension for younger students (or as a refresher for older students), incorporate portions of Iowa State University Extension Office “Growing in the Garden” curriculum.

From Bison to Bread: The American Prairie
Before Euro-American settlers arrived in Iowa, the majority of the state was covered in tallgrass prairie. Project WILD’s activity, From Bison to Bread: The American Prairie, takes a look at prairie plants and animals, and debates the reasons for the development or preservation of prairies.
Use this activity in your social studies, science, or language arts class, or integrate it in all three subject areas and incorporate a field trip to a local prairie (as mentioned in the extension). Go to http://www.iowaprairienetwork.org/prairies/remaining.htm to find a prairie near you.
