Forum 1.5 - Ecological Considerations

1/24/2019

Central Question: What are symptoms of ecological imbalances and how are humans involved?

Guiding Thought Question: Work with a partner to come up with a list of 5 ways that you could track whether or not a particular ecosystem is "healthy."

Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the components of ecological study and the factors that go into ecological "health" and then read an article about the potential impacts resulting from an imbalance.
