Add your indicator ﴾teaching targets﴿ here:Students should know the vocabulary associated with ecology such as abiotic, biotic, food chain and web, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere. They should understand how ecosystems are impacted.
Add the lesson Big Idea, how does the standard fit into real world or relevant experiences here:How does energy move through an ecosystem?How do we impact ecosystems?
