Elementary Ecosystems
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/08/gk2/ecosystem.html


This lesson teaches students the basics of species interdependency within an ecosystem. Students describe the things animals need to survive and the ways in which animals depend on other animals and plants; perform a simulation to demonstrate the interdependencies within an ecosystem; look at pictures of endangered animals, and explain what they think might happen to other animals and plants if these animals became extinct; and draw pictures of animals in their natural habitats, and describe what these animals need to survive.
