Being
a good steward of the environment should be a lifelong goal. Students learn
the first step in good stewardship by creating a wildlife habitat in the
school courtyard or on school grounds to study ecology. Cooperative groups
of students observe and record data from interactions between organisms
and their environment. This natural community gives students an opportunity
to use scientific process skills. Students will develop an ecological interactive
diary, measure the growth of a population of organisms, and study the effects
of abiotic factors. Students continue observations and data collection to
confirm or disprove the prediction that consumption of seed decreased with
the advent of the fall seed production.
