Here's a short video called "What Happened When a Pack of Wolves Was Released in Yellowstone National Park" and it shows how one little change can have HUGE effects all throughout the ecosystem. Everything is connected, always.

For English points, you could write a daily journal and submit for English writing points!  If you wanted to write a longer reflection or an essay, that's great, too.

The attached photo came across my twitter feed this week and I was both amazed and kinda grossed out.  I'm attaching the photo and a link to other myxomycetes--they seem to be varied and awesome.  And still creepy. 

Want some OPTIONAL English points?  Write a short story (a couple paragraphs to however long you want--it does NOT have to be as long as the assignment I'm linking to, unless you want the high points) using a myxomycete as a main character or element in the story.  Share/email it to kolson@onamia.k12.mn.us with "myxomycete writing" in the subject line!)
