Lesson Plans:
Design
an Ecosystem
A simulation activity: Students create a simple, imaginary ecosystem. They
describe the interrelations between the species inhabiting the ecosystem
and their physical environment. Then then imagine
an alteration in their environment and project the impact that such a
change would have on the organisms living in their ecosystem. Finally, they
write an environmental impact statement suggesting ways to mitigate the
effects of the change.
Managing
the Everglades Ecosystem
To explore the Everglades ecosystem using
the Internet. To develop an understanding about conservation of resources
in the context of the Everglades; explore relationships between species and
habitats; and develop an understanding of how human beings have altered the
equilibrium in the Everglades.
Food Web
Create a food web.
Ecology and the
Conservation of Our Natural Resources
Two activities which will demonstrate that the lack or excess of specific abiotic or biotic factors imposes limits upon organisms
within any ecosystem.
Wetland
Ecosystems
A great collection of labs.
Food
Chains and Food Webs
To show the energy flow through a food chain by constructing model food chains
and food webs with the given drawings of organisms.
