Hinkle Creek Video Teacher's Guide (Grades 5-12)

The video, Inquiry at Hinkle Creek: Doing Science in Our Forests, explores real world forestry practices and watershed science and highlights the work of scientists using a 5,000 acre paired watershed in Southern Oregon as an outdoor laboratory. The teacher resource materials complement the video by providing relevant science research projects and interactive inquiry-based learning activities organized by topic and aligned to educational standards. For more information please see the Oregon Forest Resources Institute website.
