Introduction to exploring the Tallgrass Prairies
A prairie is a tract of land characterized predominantly by grasses. As a large area of level or rolling land, the prairie usually has deep fertile soil in its natural and uncultivated state, a cover of tall coarse grasses, and few trees.

National Teachers Enhancement Project
Prairie Project

Abstract: 
This multidisciplinary, inquiry-based project is based on a research problem related to prairie grasses and forbs. The open-ended problem lends itself to a variety of investigatory directions and is appropriate for students at all ability levels. 

Introduction to Research: 
SIMply Praire is a student research project that has the potential to link classrooms in areas where the prairie once flourished. 
Students develop research questions with a special focus on the prairie plant population. To answer these questions students conduct a research study collecting data from a prairie plot and comparing their data with data from other native and/or reconstructed prairie plots. 
Students publish their data and their research study on the SIMply Prairie Website. As the project matures we expect classes will collaborate with other classes on joint research studies.
The student data will be available to research scientists who encourage students to take an active interest in preserving and recreating native North American prairies.
