I learned about ecological succession, biologic magnification, biomes, abiotic and biotic factors, and finding a solution for erosion.
I liked the terrarium lab because it allowed us to experiment with ecology in a safe and controlled environment.
I did not like the worksheets because they took away from the invaluable time on the laptops. I just feel like access to the internet really increases the amount I can learn.
Now that I know about human impacts I will pick up my dog’s feces instead of leaving it for weeks while its toxic chemicals destroy the ecosystem. I will also stop stepping on my neighbors’ plants when I am mad because that could cause a ripple throughout the trophic levels.
