With actual skulls from IL mammals, fourth graders are seeing first hand the differences between organisms in an ecosystem. Because organisms depend upon one another in many ways, and because an oil spill can affect all living things in an ecosystem, fourth graders are spending time "getting to know" different organisms!
Besides investigating skulls, they are also looking at their pelts, or furs. There are also rubberized molds of their tracks and scat for students to observe. Soon we'll be seeing how every organism is literally connecting to another organism in one way or another!
