Ecology Unit
After the evolution unit, we followed up with an ecology section. During this time we had another socratic seminar-this one relating to global warming-we made terrariums modeling different ecosystems, we did a webquest that taught us about the carbon and nitrogen cycles, and we ran an ecosystem simulation to help sculpt a better understanding of the relationships within the ecosystem. We also made a video that shows the impact of humans on an ecosystem close to home and ways we can reduce that impact. After completing this chapter of my STEM biology career, i feel much more informed about the way ecosystems and inter-species relationships work.
