How Did the Elk Cross the Road
by Tina Kennedy
This lesson is from Arizona Game and Fish Department. The lesson has students look at data on elk-vehicle collisions on State Route 260. The road is being widened to a two-lane divided road with elk underpasses and fencing are being added to the construction project. Students will suggest three mileposts where underpasses for elk could be created to reduce elk-vehicle collisions. Additional data will be shared with students about where the bridges were created, the design of the bridges, and if this reduced the number of elk-vehicle collisions on State Route 260.
