This Week : We continued our unit on food webs and energy exchange in ecosystems. We learned about the importance of consumers and their important place in ecosystems. We will make a food web in different environments and be able to label all components. We made a brochure about marine ecosystems and food webs as we explored marine biology as a STEM career.
Next Week : We will continue our unit on food webs and energy exchange in ecosystems. We will explore the role of decomposers in ecosystems as well and how matter cycles, but energy flows (from one creature to the next).
