Web of Life

Today we modeled a web of life using yarn to show the connections between different organisms. We then looked at the cause and effect of changing parts of the ecosystem. What would happen if certain plants died out from a drought? Or if the top predators were hunted to extinction? We compared our definitions of ecology. We have a new homework assignment. There is a reading packet, They will need to read pages 5-10 of the "Web of Life" and answer questions 3, 4, and 5. These are due on Monday, September 12th.
