Teaching Science, v55 n1 p41-45 Mar 2009
In this paper four final-year education students describe one aspect of their science pathway course, a place-based experience in an urban ecological setting. The aim of the place-based experience was to combine community service and science knowledge to focus on critical, reflective thinking and civic responsibility. The assessment task required the students to construct a digital narrative of their experience. (Contains 5 figures.)
