 A Focus on Wetland Ecology for Elementary Grade Science
Description: From the site: "The understanding of plants and animals in an ecosystem is a current strand in the Texas essential knowledge skills set. The main objectives of the unit are: to describe environmental changes in which some organisms would thrive, become ill, or perish (SCI.3.2.06); to observe and identify observations of organism with similar needs that compete with one another for resources such as oxygen, water, food or space (SCI.3.2.04); and to analyze information using scientific instruments and tools for lab activities (SCI.5.1.13)."
