This book offers insights on the study of natural language as a complex adaptive system. It discusses a new way to tackle the problem of language modeling, and provides clues on how the close relation between natural language and some biological structures can be very fruitful for science. The book examines the theoretical framework and then applies its…
This is the second part in a series on how we edit science, looking at hypothesis testing, the problem of p-hacking and how the peer review process works.
Activities, worksheets and assessments on Producers, Consumers and Decomposers. This includes a Decomposition Column! Next Generation Science Standards NGSS LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics (System Interactions). **Includes a DIGITAL VERSION to use for DISTANCE LEARNING, Google Classroom, Differentiation, Remote Instruction and TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION** Please download the Preview for more images! This is PART 3 of 3 units. All 3 units can be found in the Ecosystems Unit Bundle. This is a printable and digital collection of lessons and inquiry-based science activities, including worksheets, assessments, visuals, and directions about how to make a decomposition column. Students will identify how energy, within an ecosystem, originates from the sun. They will learn about the transfer of energy from producers to consumers to decomposers. They will apply all they know about living things, food chains, food webs, and energy in a final assessment. This also is a great connection to health topics about food, food energy, and where our food comes from (food pyramid, etc.) Includes a DIGITAL INQUIRY ACTIVITY to make DECOMPOSITION COLUMNS through Distance Learning and Google Classroom! DIGITAL VERSION (70 slides): 6 Learning Target Slides (editable & fixed) 11 Informational Slides 7 Pages of Interactive Decomposition Activity (Decomposition Column) 37 pages of interactive tasks or worksheets (some editable) 1 Learning Targets & Feedback Self-Scoring Pages (1 editable) 1 blank slide for teacher creation Printable Version (68 pages): Posters for producers, consumers, decomposers, and all three together (multiple versions for classroom posters or student notebooks) Learning Targets Detailed Inquiry Activities with additional information, which include: Extensions Definitions Visuals Graphic Organizers Journal prompts Assessments Printable worksheets and assessments for science journals or to pass out Investigation on Decomposition Article on Decomposition Directions on how to make a Decomposition Column (with visuals) Vocabulary Terms Technology Skills: * Camera Tool to insert image * Selecting * Dragging elements * Resizing image * Text boxes * Shapes tool Thank you for visiting!

Feel confident in front of your class because this curriculum includes everything that you need to engage your students and teach to the standard. Best of all, no expertise or prior knowledge in Forestry is required. This lesson is on reforestation methods and covers artificial and natural regeneration methods used in the industry along with the pros and cons of each. The included lab activity has students apply math principles to calculate seedlings needed for specified scenarios just like in the CDE.

This volume draws on the ecojustice, citizen science and youth activism literature base in science education and applies the ideas to situated tensions as they are either analyzed theoretically or praxiologically within science education pedagogy. It uses ecojustice to evaluate the holistic connections between cultural and natural systems, environmentalism,…
In this inquiry-based lab investigation, students will create an ecosystem simulation using 2-Liter bottles to explore the cycling of the essential elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen through biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem. Students will need a minimum of two 2-Liter bottles for this project – one to represent an aquatic ecosystem and one to represent a terrestrial ecosystem. Students will work with a partner to design a way to connect these two bottle ecosystems so that nutrients can cycle appropriately and life can be sustained for a month-long period. They will assemble their ecosystems in class and collect daily observations throughout this month. At the completion of their observation month, students will write a report of their findings relating their observations back to what they know about the cycling of nutrients and the interrelationships of organisms. *NOTE* Do not purchase if you have already purchased my Ecology Unit Bundle or Biology Complete Curriculum Bundle because you already have this product! Included in the PDF: 10 pages of teacher implementation notes, including accommodations (PDF) 8 pages of student handouts and rubrics (PDF) Sample student work (PDF) Why should I use this product in my classroom? I love to use this product because it is every student's favorite from the whole year! It is a truly hands-on experience where they can gain real world experience by applying what they've learned in class to a living, breathing mini-ecosystem. This is one of those investigations that the students never forget! How does this connect to NGSS*? This investigation addresses the following standards: HS-LS1-5: Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy. HS-LS1-7: Use a model to illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical process where by the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in new compounds are formed resulting in a net transfer of energy. HS-LS2-3: Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. HS-LS2-4: Use mathematical representations to support claims for the cycling of matter and flow of energy among organisms in an ecosystem. It also incorporates the following science and engineering practices: Ask questions and define problems Plan and carry out investigations Analyze and interpret data Construct explanations and design solutions Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information Lastly, it connects to the following crosscutting concepts: Cause and effect Scale, proportion, and quantity Systems and system models Energy and matter Stability and change What if I want more?
