Bottle Ecosystems
by Tracy Sullins
This lesson allows students to create their own ecosystem to gain a better understanding of how each part works with each other and why they are so important. They will show proficiency when they correctly build the ecosystem and then explain the process in a narrative story based on a character living in their ecosystem trying to survive and get water.
