This Week : We continued our unit on food webs and energy exchange in ecosystems. We explored the history of Texas and the Earth as we examine fossil evidence for things that lived long ago. We compared current ecosystems to our past environments. We began our Texas Dinosaur project where students learned about a dinosaur whose fossils have been found in Texas.
Next Week : We will continue our unit on food webs and energy exchange in ecosystems. We will finish our unit and our dinosaur project. Our science TEST covering everything this 9 weeks will be on Thursday (12/11). These are structures and functions of plants, food webs (producers, consumers, decomposers), and fossils as evidence of change.
(If you would like to follow along with our learning this chapter is chapters 9-10 in McGraw-Hill)
