Levels of Organization

Just like the progression in biology where we start with a kingdom and go down to a species, we need to look at the world of increasing complexity through a different set of lenses. Here's a 6th grade view 

We need to look at a more complex viewpoint to solve problems, so here is the other end of the spectrum: 

It is part of a bigger set of questions on a website that other people can take a look at for research ideas

Part 2:  Organizing Biomes Poster

I. Using what you found yesterday, you and ONE partner should compare two biomes (you could include freshwater or saltwater biomes).  Use the first structure  above to help create a pyramid of organization for a predator in your biome.

II. Check the second visual.   Describe the landscape of your biome, and its temperature range and flora.  Find a picture of working ecosystem in your biome by using Google.

III.  Now, identify a potential environmental problem in your Biome.  Provide some details.



Part 3:  Reflection
How do YOU interact with your world on multiple levels? And what implication does that have for the future of the communities you deal with?  
What happens to the future of the biome when environmental problems arise?  Is the problem manageable?
