Elementary Ecosystems
This lesson teaches students the basics of species interdependency within an ecosystem or habitat. Students will perform a simple simulation to see how one species can affect many others, and gain a basic understanding of the importance of biodiversity. For older students, you may want to define and use the word "ecosystem" in the lesson.
This lesson plan directly addresses how changes in the environment effect the organisms in an ecosystem.
