October 15th and 16th - Ecology

Today we started a new Unit of Ecology!

Students were introduced to the concepts of modeling and simulations.
Students have access to an amazing technology resource in EcoBeaker Maine Explorer.  This modeling program takes them into a Maine Lake and how the organism interact within it.
Here is an image of the program.



Students are working through vocabulary concepts on a Google document seen here.

We also completed a Sciencesaurus reading on food webs and food chains.  In the reading the different trophic levels were introduced and defined.  That reading can be found here.

Finally here is a link to a fun food web interactive site.  - GouldEdu.au
