We're barely a week in to our study of biology, and our driving question for the unit is focused on "Where Have All the Creatures Gone?" Throughout our unit, we will be making sense of this phenomenon by exploring five learning sets, and our first learning set will be focused on determining what can cause populations of organisms to change.
As our third unit this year progresses, we're understanding that biology looks quite different from both physics and chemistry. Since biology is the study of life, we will be looking at just that...life! We stepped outside to begin our unit by taking some field notes, looking for interactions between living organisms and their environment.
Chicago weather is unpredictable...but we were able to step outside into our new school garden and find examples of interactions. Interactions can show us changes in an ecosystem and can help us make sense of these occurrences.
