This unit represents my best work so far, when I started to deliver consistently high quality lessons. I have been to planning transitions between each parts of the lessons, including interactive lessons that involve a larger art focus, playing games outside, creating compost, and much more.

Description:

Students will be learning about symbiotic relationships, trophic pyramids, food webs, and the movement of energy through these systems.

How do animals relate to one another?

How does energy cycle through living organisms?

Why are some ecosystems more fragile than others?

What is the importance of biodiversity and how is it measured?
