Land Bird Conservation Plan Colorado Executive Summary Overview of Colorado Physiographic Region 36 Physiographic Region 62 ... Appendices Overview of Colorado Background Colorado is a land of contrasts, a place where rolling grasslands of the Great Plains in the east abruptly give way to a backbone of rugged mountains, which in turn give way to plateaus and canyons in the west. A day's drive can take travelers from semidesert all the way up to alpine tundra. Elevations range from a low of about 975 m (3,200 ft) in Prowers County on the eastern plains, to 4400 m (14,433 ft) on Mt. Elbert, near Leadville. Major rivers include the Yampa, White, Colorado, Gunnison, and Dolores in the west, and the North Platte, South Platte, Cache la Poudre, Arkansas, Arikaree, Republican, Big Sandy, Purgatoire, and Rio Grande in the east. Much of the prairie lands in the east are privately owned, and most of the mountainous western lands are federally owned. Physiographic Areas Partners in Flight physiographic areas found in Colorado include the Central Shortgrass Prairie (PA36), Southern Rocky Mountains (PA62), Colorado Plateau (PA87), and Wyoming Basin (PA86). Based on the percentage of the physiographic area within the state boundary, Colorado has the state lead for bird conservation planning in the Central Shortgrass Prairie and Southern Rocky Mountains physiographic areas, but will share responsibility for the Colorado Plateau Physiographic Area with New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, and will defer responsibility for the Wyoming Basin Physiographic Area to Wyoming. Physiographic areas are discussed in detail later in the plan. Maps of Colorado's physiographic areas are included in Appendix C.

MUSÉE is a not-for-profit organization that works with cultural institutions around the world to provide services to museums, schools, and the general public. MUSÉE's mission, since it was founded in 1992, is to enhance cultural awareness, advance education at all levels, and stimulate public interest in cultural institutions. MUSÉE is helping cultural institutions prepare for the future by fostering information exchange on existing and emerging electronic technologies. MUSÉE does this through the use of both online and traditional forums where cultural institutions are made more aware of new technologies. Through MUSÉE's programs, museums may also be able to gain access to new forms of revenue generation. MUSÉE has been acknowledged as one of the world's leading Internet resources for museum content by educational foundations, government entities and many publications, such as The New York Times and The London Times.

The group's task was to review and reconfirm the newly developed volunteer recognition categories, make recommendations for use at the county level, simplify the application process in any ways possible and make recommendations for handling recognition in years when there is no forum. The group did review the recognition categories and felt they were appropriate for continued use. Some ideas were generated for marketing the recognition system and clarifying the criteria for judging applications. These changes will be made to the information available on the Kentucky 4-H home page.

Teaching Science Through Inquiry With Archived Data David L. Haury December 2001 ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Education DIGEST Teaching science through inquiry has long been promoted by science educators (See Haury, 1993) and is strongly endorsed by the National Science Education Standards (NSES; National Research Council, 1996). According to the Standards , “Students at all grade levels and in every domain of science should have the opportunity to use scientific inquiry and develop the ability to think and act in ways associated with inquiry, including asking questions, planning and conducting investigations, using appropriate tools and techniques to gather data, thinking critically and logically about relationships between evidence and explanations, constructing and analyzing alternative explanations, and communicating scientific arguments” (Chapter 6). For most teachers, however, the shift in emphasis from traditional instructional approaches to inquiry is a difficult transition

Using the Internet to Enrich Science Teaching and Learning May 1999 ( Updated March 2002 ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Education DIGEST The full potential of the Internet as a tool for learning is still being explored, but one of the main limitations at the moment may be our imaginations. We are still gaining the experiences that will enable us to envision the possibilities. Here we offer some examples of ways in which the Internet can be used as a tool for teaching and learning science. Facilitating Productive Interactions Because individuals can interact inexpensively without needing to coordinate the times or places of their interaction, virtual conversations are possible between individuals with very different schedules. Using electronic mail, a teacher can interact individually with students or their parents, send informational messages over a Listserv to a whole group, or provide assistance and access to electronic resources through a personal website. With these Internet communication tools, a teacher can actually provide increased individual attention while spending less time in meetings, extended conversations, or talking on the telephone. The Internet also makes it possible for a class or group to interact with other school groups at great distances. For instance, one school coordinated an experiment with 11 other class groups from as far away as Australia and Japan (Lidbeck, 1996). The groups all measured the Earth's magnetic field and compared their results. Without the Internet, costs and logistical problems would have made such an experience impossible.

Among the benefits of our discussions was that Dr. Jorge Arriagada, director of the SCSU Herbarium and I are planning to develop some collaborative projects that would involve students from both institutions. This is an exciting possibility and for those of you who like plants. Keep posted for further developments. Until next week......

Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) Funds Available Pat Frost, District Manager RCD Hires District Manager Trinity County Resource Conservation District has a new District Manager. The vacancy was advertised last summer, and the Board of Directors hired Patrick Frost last November. Pat has extensive experience in resource conservation and management, having served for over 14 years with the St. Johns River Water Management District in Florida. Frost was on the water management district's senior management staff for 12 years, and was involved in managing water resources in a wide variety of ways. He is most proud of his role in the protection and restoration of the Wekiva River system near Orlando. Frost received his bachelors degree in biology in 1976 from the University of San Francisco, and returned there for his masters degree after having served in the Peace Corps in El Salvador from 1976-78. His graduate work was in ornithology, but Pat began to focus on water resources management and wetlands ecology in Florida. In addition to his most recent work with the water management district, Frost has experience with the Florida Department of Transportation, has worked as an adjunct instructor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Central Florida, provided volunteer technical support to Nicaragua's Ministry of Natural Resources, and was employed with an engineering firm at Vandenberg Airforce Base.
