Lesson Plan List for: Ecology

Resource Grade Level Media Type
The Coral Reef Ecosystem  

The Coral Reef Ecosystem
Students examine a coral reef ecosystem to learn about its living and non-living parts and how they interact. They apply what they have learned to explore the world's biomes, including how the animals in each are adapted to their environment.

6-8 Lesson Plan
Exploring the "Systems" in Ecosystems  

Exploring the "Systems" in Ecosystems
In this media-rich lesson, students use a systems thinking approach to explore the components and processes of ecosystems. They analyze both a hypothetical and a local ecosystem by identifying abiotic and biotic components and their relationships.

6-8 Lesson Plan
Global Warming?  

Global Warming?
Students examine the issue of global warming. They calculate how much carbon dioxide all the machines they use produce in one day.

9-12 Lesson Plan
Dare to Care for a Grizzly Bear  

Dare to Care for a Grizzly Bear
Using the Nature episode “The Good, The Bad and the Grizzly,” students will be able to articulate the complex and competing perspectives on how to best handle the growing bear population, and they will investigate the factors contributing to the destabilization of the bear’s Yellowstone ecosystem.

9-11 Lesson Plan
Liquid Assets: Watershed  

Liquid Assets: Watershed
In this lesson, students will understand what a watershed is, the factors which can pollute it, the modern-day problems facing watersheds (including pollution) and the ways in which they can be protected.

6-8 Lesson Plan
Biomes  

Biomes
Students collect information about different biomes. They learn how to read a climograph. Teams research different biomes and present to the class.

9-12 Lesson Plan
Population Growth  

Population Growth
Students are introduced to the ecology of population growth by growing duckweed and learning about invasive species.

9-12 Lesson Plan
Exploring Environmental Change  

Exploring Environmental Change
Students explore the connections that can exist in a natural environment, and examine how changes to the environment, particularly those caused by human activity, can affect those connections.

6-9 Lesson Plan
Symbiotic Strategies  

Symbiotic Strategies
In this Nature lesson, students will investigate the many ways in which species that live in close proximity to each other might interact in an ecosystem.
