I was excited to see that you used data from HB in one of the ecology activities that have students think about energy flow through an ecosystem.) I use your resources often- THANK YOU. I also appreciate that so many of your resources use data! (The non profit I worked for supported the science of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study and I too, tried to take data and turn it into something useful for teachers. It is so wonderful to find resources that are as detailed, rigorous as yours. I just began teaching this year, after many years as an education director for a non-profit. Thank you so much for the amazing resources you offer.
