I've been working with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks to write evaluations (worksheets) that go along with articles from their Montana Outdoors Magazine. Below is a list of articles and assignments that I have completed. Each worksheet includes teacher notes, possible bell-ringers, and an answer key. The assignments are best-suited for high school biology students or students taking environmental science.
