Ecology Overview

 We reviewed Ecology Terms and made concept maps for Ecology, Taxonomy, and Levels of Organization.  I made a deck of cards from this list.  Concept maps are new to my Co-op class.  I use card sets I make from vocabulary and ask the kids to sort them.  Which words are part of a food web?  How is energy in an ecosystem defined?  What are types of symbiosis?  How can I separate producers and consumers?  The kids were instructed to read Module 10 in Apologia’s Biology class as homework.  The slide deck was the review.  The Ecology concept map is a form of informal assessment.  Did you read?  I walk around and help kids sort their cards—mainly by asking questions or moving a card or two for clarification.  Take a look!
