We did a unit on ecosystems. So, we went outside and observed and recorded a 12 x 15 foot area of the campus. We also wrote and discussed how humans affected these areas.
We discussed about relationships among animals. We brought it down to our level and background. We talked about the brown tree snake and the scarlet gourd, and how they are affecting our environment. It was a good example of what happens if there is too much prey and no predators.
We covered the five kingdoms. The students studied the Moneran kingdom, Protista, Animalia, Planteae and of course Fungi. The students understand that the Animal Kingdom is classified into different classes. We used Spongebob Squarepants characters to help them see the classifications. After this discussion, they were able to understand better.
When we talked about symbiosis, it was easy to discuss about mutualism because the whole class watched "Finding Nemo". They were able to see the relationship between the clown fish and the sea amenome.
