Abstract
The Biology department at Boston University designs and implements inquiry-based laboratory experiments for outreach programs in order to bring science to High School students at a level that they can enjoy and learn from the experience. The Urban Ecology module exposed visiting students to ecological theory in a classroom and experiments at a nearby field site. Here we present the strategies and ideas utilized to successfully and efficiently update a field ecology module while integrating flexibility regarding the unpredictability of a field site. In addition, we present ideas and guidelines for others undergoing redesigns of current labs
