    Wetland Biodiversity

    Parks | Education | Education Programs | Virtual Learning | Virtual Academy | 7th Grade | Wetland Biodiversity
    State Standards:
    Topic: Cycles of Matter and Flow of Energy
    7.LS.1 Energy flows and matter is transferred continuously from one organism to another and between organisms and their physical environments.
    7.LS.2 In any particular biome, the number, growth and survival of organisms and populations depend on biotic and abiotic factors.

    Objectives:
    Students will:
    · Learn that nature is cyclical – with water, nutrients (ex: C, P, N, O), and energy
    · Learn how abiotic factors contribute to the creation of a wetland biome
    · Learn that biotic factors contribute to the creation of a wetland ecosystem
    · Learn that energy is transferred between trophic levels in wetland food webs
    · Explore the biodiversity in wetland systems and identify components of systems
    · Understand how organisms are adapted/designed to survive in a specific habitat, like wetlands
    · Be introduced to environmental issues such as bioaccumulation and toxicity
    · Learn how abiotic and biotic factors can control plant and animal populations
