Landscapes: A Guide to the Landforms and Ecology of Southern Saskatchewan.
This series, consisting of a teacher reference manual, landscape guides, a set of slides, a landscape map, and posters was sent to each school in Saskatchewan in the early 1980's. The slides have been copied onto video format and are available from Med ia House Productions. The series is invaluable for the teacher who wants to apply the study of ecology to the environment of southern Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan Soil Survey has produced maps describing soil zones, soil pH, and wind and water erosion risk zones of Saskatchewan soils.
For copies of these maps, write:

Guide to Farm Practice in Saskatchewan was published by the Division of Extension and Community Relations every three years from 1933 to 1987. It is no longer in print but copies may be available from extension agrologists. It cont ains much information which may be useful both for teacher background and for student research. Sections on the climate, soil productivity, and habitat protection in Saskatchewan will be especially useful in this unit.
Managing Saskatchewan Rangeland (1991) is available from the Saskatchewan Agriculture Development Fund. (Contact Calvin Massier at 787-5902 to request copies.)

Note: This activity could be adapted to terrestial organisms.
Note: This activity would work well in conjunction with "Riparian Retreat".
Note: This activity can provide guidelines for any research using human resources.
Standing Room Only, is computer simulation of human population growth which allows students to enter values for a range of variables, and receive a projection of population growth into the 21st century. It is avaliable for MS-DOS and for the Apple II series with 128K memory, from:

The above kits were distributed to all schools in Saskatchewan during 1984 and 1987, respectively. Each consists of a filmstrip with a cassette audio tape sound track, a transcript of the sound track, and a teacher's guide. Common species found in Sask atchewan are used to illustate groups of organisms. The kits are invaluable for the teacher who wishes to set the study of biology in a Saskatchewan context, and who wishes to make best use of field trips.
Guide to Farm Practice in Saskatchewan was published by the Division of Extension and Community Relations every three years from 1933 to 1987. It is no longer in print but copies may be available from extension agrologists. It contains mu ch information which may be useful both for teacher background and for student research. Sections on grain crops, forage crops, horticulture, weed control, plant diseases, insect pests, livestock and poultry, and vertebrate pests will be especially useful in this unit.
Wildflowers Across the Prairies
This is an excellent book for identifying species of flowering plants which are native to Saskatchewan and for encouraging students to become interested in the diversity of Saskatchewan angiosperms.
