How Can We Help? Topic A 1, 2 & 4
How Can We Help? Topic A 1, 2 & 4
How Can We Help? Students will investigate the relationships that exist between living things and their environments. They will examine the flow of energy and the cycling of matter in ecosystems. In the end, they will use evidence that gathered from many sources to analyze a local environmental problem. Most of the resources used in this activity can be found on an outstanding web site called Real World Ecosystems @ greenlearning.ca.
Knowledge Outcomes: 1. Investigate and describe relationships between humans and their environments, and identify related issues and scientific questions 2. Trace and interpret the flow of energy and materials within an ecosystem 4. Describe the relationships among knowledge, decisions and actions in maintaining life-supporting environments
