Aldo Leopold is considered the “father” of science-based wildlife management.
His ideas, still used today, were fostered by his time exploring Arizona and the southwest. In this activity, students use an interactive, GIS-based Story Map to learn about these key life moments.
Students will read biographical text highlighting important locations in Leopold’s development. Each virtual stop will provide a creative way to increase student understanding through the use of readings, journaling and primary source documents. Reflection questions are included regularly throughout the activity to allow students to further examine Leopold’s work and their own ideas.
